Gertie’s Salon & Bar is Gertrude Stein’s persona uncorked. Lively, opinionated, and reliably unpredictable, Gertie’s is a place where ideas collide, laughter ricochets, and strangers become chosen family somewhere between the first and second sip. Dedicated to a woman who gathered geniuses the way others collect postage stamps—Gertie’s is a clubhouse for us, the modern-day “Lost Generation.” It is a toast to the woman who is credited with mothering 20th-century Modernism while proving that living out is the most magnificent art of all.

Gertie’s Salon and Bar carries forward the joyful LGBTQ+ tradition of community bars and restaurants as sanctuaries, stages, and second living rooms—places where you’re fed, fortified, entertained, and freed to be exactly who you are.

So, come find your spark at Gertie’s. The conversation is just getting interesting!
