Join Mandy Carter and Heather Hackman for an evening of real conversations about how race and racism shape our Minnesota LGBTQ communities.

9:30 PM

Put away that umbrella, ladies— April showers are about getting wet. Minneapolis’ first exclusive lesbian lounge night is ready to put a spring back into your step with another installment of classy mingling and retro sex appeal. Inspired by the 1940’s pin-up era, The Dollhouse features music and entertainment guaranteed to satisfy your senses. Escape the typical club scene and join women from across the Twin Cities the last Friday of every month who desire a classier queer event.

Back by popular demand, do-wop band Lil’ Miss SweetTooth & The Daisy Dukes will take you back in time, performing their sassy covers of musicians like Amy Winehouse and Duffy. Later in the evening DJ Peace*meal will pleasure the crowd with bass-happy dance beats ideal for showing off your smooth moves on the dance floor. If things get too hot, head outside to The View’s gorgeous patio under the stars.

The View Restaurant and Bar offers a sophisticated setting with just the right lighting and optional cozy booths for getting close to the dolls and dames of your affection. Put on a bowtie or slinky retro number and get famous in the Dollhouse photo booth, or grab one of the featured Bettie Page inspired pin-up girls in attendance for the picture-perfect moment. Drink specials run all night and remember to take advantage of the free valet parking.

XOXO,
The Dollhouse
