CHICAGO’S LESBIAN BAR

Dorothy originally opened on Valentine’s Day 2020 and was able to fully reopen in July 2022. We are proud to be Chicago’s only lesbian bar and the only lesbian cocktail lounge in existence.

We are located at 2500 W Chicago Ave on the lower level. You can access our bar by entering through the unmarked red door on Chicago Ave just west of the “2500” painted on our building. All guests must be 21+ with a physical ID.

Our bar is part of the LaSchora Hospitality Collective.

ACCESSIBILITY

  • Dorothy has elevator access for any guest who needs it, located on Campbell Avenue behind a black door with our logo in the window. Call 773-770-3799 when you arrive and our team will assist you in!

  • Dorothy is equipped with four gender neutral ADA restrooms.
