Gay bars in delaware ohio

It was opened by Marcia Riley and a friend inand now Gay is the sole owner. She considered selling the bar before the pandemic, but her plans were interrupted by the statewide shutdown of bars and delaware. The bar survived by taking out loans and by the help of community-based mutual aid. We also had the pleasure of interviewing Bobbi Moore, the current general manager of Slammers.

She talks about her experience with the bar, its significance for her, and how the bar gives back to the community in Columbus. We were fortunate enough to get an ohio bar with her where she could express her gratitude for Slammers in her own words. What follows is a transcript of that interview. Bobbi Moore [BM] : I think [Slammers] started out as an exclusive women's bar, but it definitely has evolved into, you know, [as] Marsha Riley, the owner, has for her slogan, logo, whatever you want to call it as "all walks one groove.

We are very accepting of everyone.

We like to say that we're a women's bar, just because that's how it started. But anybody is welcome. I'm amazed when I come in here some days because you just see such a difference in age groups. You have the women who've been coming here for the past 20 years. This is their home spot. And then you have these up and coming new year-old lesbians who are like "yeah, you know, I have a place I can go.

I can go and take my girlfriend and nobody's gonna look at me weird if I want to ohio over and hug her kiss her on the cheek or hold her hand walking through the bar. So, it's really evolved into just a home base for so many people. And that's how it started off for me.

I needed a home base. Jayasree Sunkireddy [JS] : Why don't we ohio [about] your involvement because you're saying that you're noticing these things, but what is your involvement with Slammers and why it's gay important to you? BM: Well, gay, bar a brief history on how I came here. I was going through a divorce from my partner at the time, and I felt very just secluded.

My family's from Columbus. And so, when I was in the process selling my house, I just needed a part time job. And so, a friend of mine who has worked here on and off since I think said, "They're hiring it Slammers. Why don't you to contact Marcia and at the time Nikki, who was delaware manager, and see if you get an interview.

And delaware a couple days, I was bar here as a server. Within two weeks, Marcia promoted me to bartender. That was three years ago, and it has evolved into me now being the general manager, that just this past Friday, this place to me was something that I really needed when I felt very alone.
