The Bush, Bushwick's only lesbian bar, is now open (via EaterNY)
The idea for the Bush — tag line, “a dyke bar for the queers” — started about six years ago, when friends Nikke Alleyne and Justine LaViolette started dreaming up a space where queer women in their 30s could be surrounded by other queer women.
Without a hospitality background, the co-owners turned to friends and their network to learn about bar ownership. The biggest piece of advice they heard: You need a million dollars to open a bar in New York. Spoiler: You don’t. Friends helped design and decorate the space, install audio and curate a DJ lineup, paint the walls, build bench seating, hang disco balls from high beams, and pour a swirly pearly epoxy bartop.
Among cocktails, according to the menu, there’s “bitter and balanced’ Pillow Prince, the “sweet and aromatic” Island They, and the Basic Bish riff on an espresso martini. They also added mocktails, like the ILYSFM mixing lychee juice, fresh mint, and elderflower syrup. Classic cocktails, wine and beer are also available, as are Caribbean patties, sourced from Tower Isles Cafe, in Ocean Hill, for snacking.
