Queer Bar Style Is Going Way Beyond Pride Flags | Eater
"Launched in Portland in 2022 as a bar devoted to women's sports, this space balances sports‑bar memorabilia—jerseys, bunting, scarves, and posters for women's teams—with a few tucked Pride flags to signal inclusivity without performative decoration. Founded by a queer chef who wanted a comfortable place to watch women’s sports, the menu is described as familiar, unpretentious, and delicious (highlighting items like Aunt Tina’s Vietnawings) and accommodates vegans, vegetarians, and gluten‑ and dairy‑free patrons. Early clientele was overwhelmingly queer women, though the crowd has broadened to include families and more mainstream patrons; the concept has inspired similar venues and is expanding via franchises in multiple cities." - Francky Knapp
