Share the Love at the Best Phoenix Lesbian Bars & Nightclubs

If you've noticed a distinct lack of Phoenix lesbian dating spots of late, you're not alone. It's common knowledge that the lesbian dating scene has taken a huge hit, nationwide, over the last decade. In Phoenix alone, Cash Inn Country was a favorite with all queer females from femmes and studs to women and their friends. Sadly, it's moved away from its identity of a girl bar in recent years, hosting straight nights before moving mainstream. For those native to this area of Arizona, you might well be wondering where to meet a lesbian in Phoenix at all!

The good news is that many people believe the decline in lesbian spaces is due to an ever-increasing inclusive society. Nevertheless, that doesn't address the issue of how to find a partner who's into casual encounters. What's more, with the additional complications caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the new normal of gay dating is to meet lesbian singles online. Find a potential partner onscreen while during this period of social distancing, then arrange a date by taking your pick from our list of the best LGBTQ+ friendly venues in Phoenix.
