ABOUT US

Henrietta Hudson is a queer human space built by Lesbians.

Henrietta Hudson has not only survived but thrived for 30 years and is embarking upon a massive reinvention of its legendary space. It will be a while before packed dance clubs are back in full swing, so we're adapting and changing our model from a crowded nightclub to a spacious, airy lounge for the community to gather safely.

We’re back with a cross between a living room and a petite cafe dressed in rich mid-century modern color palettes, featuring comfy chairs, plush ottomans, work nooks, and a dining area. 

Along with these interior upgrades, we're also adding a stylish outdoor enclave for guests to enjoy, a new charcuterie bar, and a revitalized cocktail menu.

We're 30 now, so we think it's time to dress it up a bit.

HISTORY

On a rainy night in 1985, Lisa Cannistraci took refuge in a small bar in the west village. While chatting with the bartenders, she mentioned she was job hunting and was hired on the spot. After 5 years of working the bar, the original Cubby Hole closed and Lisa, along with Minnie Rivera, opened Henrietta Hudson. The bar was literally built by lesbians with donated boom boxes and labor and materials. 

Since 1991, Hen’s has stood as a pillar in the community, activist space, and safe haven. While it is the longest running lesbian bar in the country, we are a Queer Human Bar. We embrace our entire community and seek to uplift everyone.
