Sapphic Saturdays

Details

Sapphic Saturdays at 1972 Pub are all about starting your night with flirty vibes, delicious drinks, and a whole lot of queer joy. Think of it as your weekly warm-up: a cozy, high-energy pre-game where you can shake off the week and slide into weekend mode surrounded by community.

Every Saturday, the party kicks off at 7PM and rolls late into the night. The star of the menu is the $5 Sapphic Sunrise served all night long—a perfectly playful excuse to linger over one more round while you decide your next move.

  • Weekly sapphic-centered hangout with a fun, come-as-you-are energy
  • $5 Sapphic Sunrise drink special running all night
  • Perfect pre-game spot before you hit the rest of the city
  • Come solo, bring your crush, or roll in with your whole crew
  • Casual, social, and low-pressure—ideal for making new friends or just people-watching over a strong pour

All are welcome, but the heart of the night is sapphic community: queer women, non-binary folks, and everyone who loves showing up for women’s and gender-expansive spaces. Whether you’re plotting a big night out or just want to carb up, sip something tasty, and vibe to the buzz of the bar, Sapphic Saturdays are built to be your new ritual.

Your new Saturday tradition starts at 7—slide into a booth, raise a Sapphic Sunrise, and let the weekend officially begin.
