Part of the Gay Phoenix Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Phoenix, Arizona
Lesbian-owned Melrose District bar with drag and DJ nights.
Boycott is Arizona's last lesbian bar, in the heart of Phoenix's Melrose District, the city's longtime gay neighborhood. Founder Audrey Corley launched it in 2004 as parties for queer women and grew it into a permanent bar, settling into its Melrose home in 2017; it's also the only Latina-owned lesbian bar in the country. It centers queer women while keeping the door open to the whole community, with DJ nights and community events running most of the week. With a patio, a dancefloor, and a crowd that treats it like home, Boycott is more than a night out: at 20-plus years and counting, it's one of only a few dozen lesbian bars left in the entire U.S., which makes it worth a stop in its own right.
