Doc Marie's is an LGBT-friendly bar in Portland, Oregon. [1]
Doc Marie's is an LGBT-friendly bar in the Osborn Hotel building in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood. [2] Owned by Olga Bichko and Nikki Ferry, the business is named after Marie Equi, a lesbian described by Brooke Jackson-Glidden of Eater Portland as "one of Oregon's fiercest champions for labor and women's rights". The business operates as Portland's only lesbian bar, [3] [4] in a space which previously housed Elvis Room. [5]
In March 2022, Eater Portland mentioned plans for the bar to open in May. [5] The business began operating on July 1, but closed the following day after two managers resigned and other employees created a worker cooperative. According to Shane Dixon Kavanaugh of The Oregonian , the workers "demanded the bar's owners turn the business over to them, writing on Instagram that they felt 'misled about the space being safe and welcoming.'" [6] The conflict was picked up by Libs of TikTok, a popular conservative Twitter account, resulting in threats directed at the owners and former employees. The bar reopened on August 13, 2022.
