Nobody's Darling

No ratings yet
Inclusive lesbian bar

“Be nobody’s darling; be an outcast,” reads the Alice Walker poem and namesake of Chicago's most welcoming lesbian bar. The owners dreamed of combining the comfort of a relaxed Sunday morning at home with an old-school lounge, and they absolutely nailed the vibe!

Enjoy a classic cocktail on the street-facing patio or a delicious glass of wine inside, taking in the sleek, modern decor. 

The staff and locals who frequent this treasure are some of the kindest and most welcoming folk in the city. After one visit, you will leave with a stronger sense of self-confidence and some fantastic new friends!
