About this place Slammers

Slammers is a lesbian bar and pizza kitchen at 202 East Long Street in downtown Columbus. It has been open since 1993 and is one of the few lesbian bars still running in the United States. The crowd is mixed queer, and many people come for the pizza and stay for a drink. It has a 4.6 Google rating from over 1,000 reviews. It is open Wednesday to Sunday, from 5pm on weekdays and 3pm at weekends, until 2am. Prices are low. A campus offshoot, Slammies on North High Street, closed in June 2024.

The absolute sweetest staff! I had a wonderful time here, and it had a good amount of people without being too crowded. Drinks were amazing as well.

As a beautiful black lesbian, I’ve been going to slammers for almost 20 years, and it used to be SO diverse and welcoming. Not anymore. The last time I came here (April 19, 2024) there was an incident and my life was put on the line, not one intervened. I left the establishment in tears and traumatized. Fast forward to last night(June 5,2026), I went after a work event. I was sitting at a table, 2 white gay men ask if they can sit with me, I say yes as I am sitting by the table by myself. They sit down, don’t introduce themselves, no big deal. I allow them to mingle amongst themselves until a 3rd white gay man comes over, they start mingling amongst themselves. I politely ask them to move tables when an altercation begins. I am forced out of my table due to 3 against one. ONLY WOC(only 2 others poc in the whole place). Although people watched, no one stepped in. This time I asked to speak to the manager, bajé mentioned she can talk to them but made and excuse as to why, because the gays are pretty much taking over, etc etc. I am not surprised at the response, just disappointed that we no longer have a safe establishment for lesbians .
