Nathalie Korhonen

Lovely vibe, delicious drinks, great bartenders, and fun events. Perfect cozy spot for a fun drink and a chat. Also good NA options on the menu which I appreciate. Their happy hour deal is also pretty good. The only downside is that the music in the bathrooms is extremely loud.

Absolutely love this place! Good service, fantastic cocktails, and an atmosphere that's to DIE for. 70s chic with jazz to listen to in a padded cuddle pit! Trans folks welcome, in fact, more welcome than I've felt almost anywhere else. Safe area too. I'm going to be back here at least weekly till they're tired of me!

Came here for a coworker’s chill birthday plans and it was cute a cute place! It was nice to see everyone vibe together for their karaoke night The drinks and atmosphere are 10/10! (Even the bartenders got up for karaoke!) *Please be respectful of the community here ‍↕️

Dorothy is one of the coolest queer bars I’ve been to. It’s eclectic, fun, and welcoming to all. We had a great time chatting with the bartenders and other folks. I would absolutely recommend you take some time to visit!

Very cozy and intimate. Great sapphic space. I had a good vodka sour but it was $20. Their still ciders are nice. Honestly the bartenders were really slow.

You walk in and think "I want my living room to look just like this"! It's chic and inviting and cozy, all in one. Dorothy is a lesbian bar, and I was told that lesbian bars historically don't do well. And yet, Dorothy feels like it's on top of its game: exceptionally good drinks (and Mocktails), friendly staff, aspirational decor and fun events. I was there for the movie release of Broken Bone Bathtub- an immersive theatrical experience. People were walking in during the very last part of the Q&A, and the gal running that personally invited everyone in. She made sure to tell people entering "it's OK to come in, Welcome, bar is right over there!" I thought that was so, for lack of a better word, nice. There was no rushing or roasting people because she had a mic. The bathrooms are clean. The parking outside is easy. Their hours are 6-11pm so you'll be in bed by midnight if you make it a "late night". Is this the way of the future? Reeeally great cocktails, reeeeeally great events, reeeeeally great feels? If so, this straight girl is coming to a lesbian bar near you;)

SUCH a beautiful bar and amazing atmosphere. It was extremely clean, the drinks are on the more expensive side but fancy and delicious. All different kinds of seating, multiple (spotless) gender-neutral single bathrooms, and the live DJ was also great. Go lesbians!
