Friendly and fun gay bar – fantastic music and live singer. We loved it! The earlier review about being unfriendly to lesbians was nonsense

LESBIANS Read this
The Fox has completely lost what made it matter. It used to be a lesbian bar — one of the few places where women could actually feel comfortable, free, and among our own. Now it’s been taken over by men. They run it, they fill it, and they’ve pushed out the community that built it.
It’s not a “mixed” space or “inclusive.” It’s just another bar for men that’s still trading off the reputation and history of lesbians. It’s insulting to call it a lesbian bar at this point. You can’t slap the word “queer” on the door and pretend it’s the same thing.
What’s happening at The Fox is gentrification of lesbian space — cultural theft dressed up as progress. If you’re looking for a real lesbian bar, this isn’t it anymore.
