New Jalisco Bar

245 S Main St.

Los Angeles, CA 90012

Walking down Main Street Downtown any night of the week, you’ll feel the New Jalisco Bar before you even step up to peer inside and debate whether you should check it out.

It’s stood the test of time and gentrification, founded by longtime friends and onetime couple Scott Craig and Peter Alexander. Across the city, the queer community has historically utilized bars and event spaces as life-saving sanctuaries for self-expression. It’s lesbian-focused, but everyone is welcome.
