In the 1980s, there were more than 200 lesbian bars in the U.S. In 2022, that number has shrunk to fewer than 25.

Roku’s Brand Studio partnered with Jägermeister for the three-episode docuseries The Lesbian Bar Project, highlighting the remaining lesbian bars and their communities across the country.

Each episode will focus on a different city—Chicago, Phoenix and Houston—spotlighting different bar owners and their patrons.

The series premieres in October, which is also LGBTQ+ History Month. Orange Is the New Black’s Lea DeLaria will host the series and serve as executive producer.
