The Central Eastside Portland lesbian bar Doc Marie’s announced through social media that its last night serving up cocktails would be on Halloween.
Named for early 20th century political activist Dr. Marie Equi, Doc Marie’s was the first bar in recent memory to market itself as a full-time lesbian bar.
This is Portland’s fifth LGBTQ+ bar to announce its closure within 365 days, or roughly a third of all of Portland’s queer bars.
The Buckman neighborhood video bar Sissy Bar closed last October, while its neighbor Crush closed after more than 20 years of business.
GO: Doc Marie’s, 203 SE Grand Ave., 503-235-5690, docmaries.com.
