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.

[5] Thirkield cited rising rent and the changing neighborhood as factors behind her decision to sell,[6] specifically the decline of LGBT patrons residing in the area that made the business unsustainable.

[9] In February 2015, Thirkield announced that the Lexington Club would close at the end of April, and that the bar was being bought out by the PlumpJack Group,[10] owned by politician Gavin Newsom.

[17] The project's mission is stated on their website as: "dedicated to documenting the stories, sounds and images from San Francisco's last full-time lesbian bar, which closed April 30th 2015.

Other movies that have featured or been set in the Lexington Club include Ashley 22, How to Pick Up Girls, By Hook or By Crook, The Wild Search, Mechanic's Daydream, Getting Off, and Lit.
