The Lexington Club
The Lexington Club, often referred to as The Lex, was a dive bar, primarily catered towards queer women, in the Mission District in the American city of San Francisco, California. It was recognized as one of the central landmarks for LGBTQ culture, especially for lesbians and queer women, in San Francisco. The club was founded in 1997 and closed at the end of April 2015.
== History ==
The Lexington Club was opened in 1997 by Lila Thirkield on the site of Mexican bar Sunset as a response to the numerous options for gay men but lack of options for lesbians and other queer women in San Francisco. She noticed that 16th and Mission had a "significant dyke presence" there and decided that it would make a good spot for her lesbian-owned business.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Advisory Committee Minutes of the January 20, 2009 Meeting )〕 Other such businesses and services in the area catering to queer women at the time included The Women's Building, the Osento bathhouse, and Amelia Rose.
In October 2014, Thirkield announced that she would sell the Lexington Club and close the establishment in 2015. Thirkield cited rising rent and the changing neighborhood as factors behind her decision to sell, specifically that changes to the surrounding neighborhood made the business unsustainable.〔 She is a co-owner of another bar in the Mission, Virgil's Sea Room. In February 2015, she announced that the Lexington Club would close at the end of April, and that she sold the bar to the PlumpJack Group, which planned to open a new "concept" there.
