2007 Best Lesbian Club

Midway Cafe

Real women appreciate good beer and know how to cut loose when the music starts. That’s why so many of them frequent the Midway. Thanks to an event calendar of crowd-pleasers like Queeraoke, the bar’s dance floor quakes seven nights a week to a soundtrack spanning R&B to death metal; the anti-decor is underscored by neon beer signs and sprinklings of Americana. And while definitely a home base for the girl-meets-girl crowd, this J.P. joint welcomes good-timers of all persuasions.
