Lesbian bars in the San Francisco East Bay



East Bay Girl Bar

 Barbara Hoke has done an incredible job of researching the lesbian bars in the San Francisco East Bay--owned by Women for Women. I'm not going to even attempt to summarize her findings, so you'll have to check it out for yourself. She reports that dedicated or freestanding lesbian bars no longer exist in the East Bay area, and that lesbian socializing these days is largely limited to "weekly or monthly events produced by women for women utilizing existing venues." But it was quite a ride while it lasted.
