Lesbian Bars in Phoenix: Boycott Bar and the Melrose District

Phoenix has Arizona's only lesbian bar, and it sits on the 7th Avenue strip in the Melrose District, a block from two of the city's busiest mixed gay bars. That geography is the whole story: a sapphic night in Phoenix is Boycott plus a walk up 7th Avenue. Hours below are from each bar's own site as of October 2026.

Boycott Bar — Melrose District

Boycott Bar (4301 N 7th Ave) is Arizona's last lesbian-owned bar. Founder Audrey Corley started it in 2004 as a party series for women, grew it into a permanent bar, and settled it into its Melrose home in 2017; it is also the only Latina-owned lesbian bar in the country. Pink lighting, a dance floor, drag and DJ nights, Latin and country nights, and themed parties through the week. 21+. Boycott posts its hours and weekly lineup on Instagram rather than a fixed schedule, so check @boycottbar before you go.

The Rest of 7th Avenue

None of these is women-specific; they are the Melrose rooms with mixed crowds, all within a few blocks of Boycott.
