Think that the best gay clubs in Los Angeles cater exclusively to gay men and their straight female friends? Then you haven’t been to one of the many hot, crazy, and sizzling lesbian clubs in Los Angeles where gay women and their friends find themselves in an arena of utter rhapsody and bliss. No matter where you are in the city, there is sure to be a happening lesbian club not too far away to cater to every one of your lady loving entertainment needs. Check out these local favorites for a guaranteed good time:
Recently remodeled to look even more spectacular than before, the Normandie Room is one of the most popular lesbian clubs in Los Angeles. Often viewed as a favorite neighborhood bar and hangout by locals that enjoy its freewheeling and dealing atmosphere, the Normandie Room is most famous for its uber strong drinks that pack a punch for even the ladies with the highest of tolerances. Be sure to try their specialty drinks like the Godiva Chocolate Martini (heavenly), the Seedless Iced Tea (oh so refreshing), and the Summer Sunset Martini (we dare you to drink just one). Go for the drinks, stay for the pool, and take in the friendly and fun atmosphere that lives and thrives on the bar’s motto: “No Homophobes, No Heterophobes, No Assholes.”
A West Hollywood staple for over 40 years, the Palms Bar is ground zero for every nice girl in Los Angeles
who wants to be a little naughty (or maybe just watch the others be very naughty). Open until 2 A.M. every day of the week, the Palms Bar is where women of all types and stripes mingle to find friendship, romance, and a fun time on the dance floor. You’ll see plenty of biker babes and beach bombshell types having a blast together every night of the week. It’s especially famous for celebrating the birthdays of its patrons by providing complimentary cake and decorations that never seem to stop falling from the glittering ceiling. The Palms Bar is one of the most celebrated lesbian clubs in Los Angeles, attracting such famous celebrity guests as Melissa Etheridge, Ellen DeGeneres, and Jim Morrison. Friday and Saturday nights are usually the best nights to stop by for serious dancers that want to take part in the bar’s weekly dance events.
Also right in the heart of West Hollywood is the ever-popular, bopping, and jamming sounds of Here Lounge. This lesbian club in Los Angeles is known for much more than its drinks and desserts: it regularly features the hottest female dance troupe in town known as Truck Stop, attracting women (and men) from all over the city that want to see some sexy ladies with the right moves get down and crazy in dance moves that are as flashy as they are seductive. Here Lounge is not a huge space so it tends to get crowded fairly quickly. As such, we recommend you get there early and claim your spot at the bar where you can enjoy your favorite beer or cocktail while waiting for the Truck Stop Fridays live performance.
The Abbey
Okay, so it’s not an exclusively lesbian club or bar but it is the best place in West Hollywood to party –
hands down! To all who know it, The Abbey is quite deserving of its title of “The Best Gay Bar in the World” though you might be surprised just how many straight people show up here to party with their gay friends. It’s no surprise, considering every night at The Abbey is basically a big party where everyone is welcome to dance, mingle, eat, drink, and even be single. The Abbey has been known to be a popular hangout for local lesbians that like to party with all their might. Given its year-round popularity, we recommend you come here early and stay late because there just isn’t another place like The Abbey in the world. Amusement, hoopla, and oodles of gorgeous faces – The Abbey has it all.
