In New York City’s East Village, a new kind of queer bar has arrived. No Bar, which opened in February, has many staples of a typical LGBTQ+ inclusive bar—drag shows, parties, eclectic décor, etc... However, the space is attached to the Standard Hotel and a bit more upscale, priding itself not only on inclusivity, but also on its extensive cocktail menu, delicious food, and overall chic environment.
After starting her position with Standard International, Dimayuga decided to do something special with the East Village location. She wanted to open a bar that felt as inclusive and welcoming as possible. “Identifying as a queer woman of color,” she says, “I didn’t ever really frequent gay bars or gay clubs as a younger person in New York…I wondered why that was…I didn’t have a place for me to go where I felt like there were peers of mine, women that identified as queer or trans folk.
“I got really into this idea of reimagining what that feels like,” she says, “A queer cowboy bar, but it’s not run by a cisgender, gay buff guy.” She integrated cowhide upholstery and ceramic pendant lamps, and she also decided to use art by Dachi Cole, a lesbian mixed media artist who creates images of Black cowboys.
