What People Are Saying About Palms Bar

In Short – Every night is ladies night at L.A.'s landmark lesbian watering hole. A WeHo staple for more than 35 years, this laidback, no-frills bar is as welcoming to leather-sporting biker chicks as it is to bi-curious beach babes. Mixing up the fun with a different scene every night, themes range from Tuesday's open mic comedy to Wednesday's dollar drinks that lure in the younger set. Thursday night features hip-hop and live music and on weekends the dance floor action continues. If you're looking for a chill scene of ladies who happen to like ladies, then this pub's for you. –…

Not what it used to be

This was one of the first lesbian clubs that i went to as soon as I turned 21, it was a hip crowd and it was the place to be on wednesday nights. Well it's been 4 years now and the last couple of times I've gone on fridays it's been nothing but trouble. The cover charge is still pretty equal to the rest, after 11 it's ten dollars and the drinks are priced the same also (but with a little bit more alcohol). The AC definetly needs to be worked on because when it starts getting crowded you want to go outside with the smokers, the dancefloor is pretty small and unless they start having a host or more contest it's pretty much you and your friends entertaining eachother. The only problem I have is that there is no security, I've witnessed 3 fights already right outside the club and no one was there to stop it, just onlookers who seemed to be more entertained than worried. The crowd is more immature than the other clubs in that area, you bump into somebody you apologize and you move on. Well not here, they seem to take everything too serious and forget why they went out to a club, to have FUN! Unless they get security you would be better off going a couple blocks down to HERE or Girlbar who now are open on fridays and have way more fun with a mature, hip crowd.
- Pros: Parking Lot right next door
- Cons: Immature crowd and no security

Quiet. Great for hiding a way.

It ain't what it used to be by any means, but it's known for its constant changing. It used to be fun and exciting, especially when the patio was open and the BBQ was going. Now, it's in the shadows but good for those who want to hang out and relax with a brewsky or whatever your choice is and not be bothered too much. The bartenders and woman barback who used to be there and were fun are all gone and so is the BBQ. The crowd is more somber and more male. If you want the fun crowd, then this is not the place right now. Keep checking back though, it will probably change again sometime in the future. If not, then just keep looking else where. Sorry.
- Pros: Okay for those who are older and want a quiet night out without the wild times.
- Cons: Not good for the younger crowd. Feels cramped and A/C doesn't work well. Too empty.
