"The Bush is a newly opened lesbian bar in Bushwick that caters to a diverse queer community, offering cocktails, mocktails, Caribbean patties, and a community-focused atmosphere. It is part of a resurgence of lesbian-owned bars post-pandemic, founded by Nikke Alleyne and Justine LaViolette. The bar aims to be a safe and inclusive space for dykes and queer people, excluding cis gay men specifically." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
