    Screenshot of my google review showing the owner's public response to a review I left

    I came in genuinely excited to support a queer/lesbian space, and unfortunately I left feeling the opposite. I forgot to close out my tab and the card initially got declined because I had just updated my banking info. Instead of simply re-running the card (which eventually DID go through), the bar decided to search my personal social media and DM me asking for money. Let me be very clear -- a bar tracking down a customer's Instagram profile over three drinks is not normal. In a space that's supposed to be safe, inclusive, and respectful, that level of boundary-crossing felt genuinely invasive. What's worse? They doubled down in their public reply instead of acknowledging how inappropriate it was. Rather than apologizing for searching my social media accounts and contacting me privately, they basically said "well we need people to pay their tabs." No one is arguing otherwise. But resorting to online searching and private social media messages over $60 is absolutely crossing into doxxing territory, and that should never be happening in a queer community space. The fact that they defended those actions publicly made it ten times more unsettling. Huge lack of accountability and zero awareness of how unsafe that behavior can feel to LGBTQ people, especially women. Super disappointed, and honestly alarmed that this was considered acceptable customer service

    Couldn't have felt even more welcome to come in if someone was literally holding my hand and guiding me! Dammit, what I'm trying to say is that it felt like home!! Feelings of community and belonging for sure present. Jolene is so humble and involved in the crowd and activities, engaging and at the same time enhancing vibes and guest experience! Thank you for being born Jolene! Hella appreciate you and your imagination. You're doing magical things. Shout out to Jose in the kitchen! Holding it down, showing off his culinary skills and importance of a clean kitchen. The tacos are delicious! Such a great price for the quality and presentation! I had no idea! And to top it off we got GRACE over here killing it behind the bar. She's handling 5 jobs with a smile and I can't take it! That's it...I'm coming back and all of yall are getting a raise from the heavens! Make a million beautiful people.

    If you plan to have a Girls night out on a Friday, Jolene's bar is definitely the place to be. This was my first time at a queer/lesbian bar and I had such a fun time! The bar staff were super attentive, the dancers were entertaining, and the dance room was packed with all around good vibes. Also, say hello to the beautiful Jolene herself! I am an old colleague of hers and I was surprised she remembered me 6-7 years later. LOL! Gender inclusive environment, reasonably priced drinks, pool table, Sunday brunches, what's not to love!? Queer or not, come support this awesome woman owned establishment!

    Yummmm!

    Food & entertainment is amazing here. The shows they put on is amazing. They have like 5 different performers. The vibe is a total turn up. You're never bored. Food is real good as well. The owner is very nice. The setting is dark & club-like. You order by the scan menu on the table.

    Oh how I wish this bar existed in South Florida. Just to be surrounded by queer people (mostly lesbians) I went by myself and everyone was very welcoming. My only slight is that the music could be less house music and more variety. But overall, a really great bar, drinks, and tacos. If I lived here, I would make this my local bar.

    Been trying to get to Jolene for forever.. i lucked up and had bar sets for the show on Juneteenth.. @womanmonolopysf put the show of all show..burlesque drag.. .. amazing show from start to finish.. it was a vibe a twerked from my seat and everything.. omg I was amazed .. can't wait to come back again... my only down fall was the food .. definitely bar snacks which was fine .. I was expecting more of menu other thanks basic breakfast.. pancakes eggs and bacon.. dnt forget to add your seat number when purchasing from the app... I spilled my drink took over 20 mins to get help and I was sitting at the bar.. it's like the waitress zoned out to just making drinks and not paying attention to people sitting at the bar.. but I definitely come back

    you are safe here neon sign

    I have yet to experience a bar tender with a smile on their face. Does everyone hate their job? Says a lot about management.

    I think they are generally a "queer" bar and seems to be mostly lesbian but the vibe is generally somewhat welcoming.
