Mix Mistress Alice💄Oh 'queer' bars, of course, those wonderfully inclusive 'safe spaces' are just so welcoming— unless, of course, you happen to be stealth and actually blend in. They absolutely adore enbies or the sight of a big, flashy transgender 'badge'—it really makes their day!
Nothing says 'you belong here' like forcing someone to out themselves in order to be accepted. And heaven forbid you look too much like a cis person; they might just faint from confusion!
Clearly, these places are the epitome of trans acceptance—way more so than those dodgy sailor bars that actually let anyone through the door without a badge of honor.
Trust me, I’ve seen it all!

Renauda Riddle and Angela Barnes — friends for many years — were golfing during the pandemic when they decided to co-create a queer cocktail bar. “The time was right and the numbers were good,” Riddle told me over Zoom, and in May 2021 they served their first craft cocktail.

Me: well, after going through all that, hopefully I’m going to end up researching more of this stuff
