After 45 years of operation, the Oxwood Inn on Van Nuys has closed for good. The story originally ran on June 8th. There is only one comment in the comment section that was posted yesterday. I think that says all that needs to be said about this forgettable dive.
OxWood. L words subconsciously longing for the D.
I find myself wonder what Serra’s version of “Dine & Dance” is.
Misleading headline. Maudlin article.
This is NOT “the last remaining lesbian bar in LA.”
But I can believe it took the prize for “creepiest windowless dive with STDs on the toilet seats”.
Did you say it was called “Blocks Wood”?
Because it’s NOT inclusive of the gender-confused, bi-sexuals and pajama boys?
Aw hell, now those cows and bull dykes are going to be roaming the streets.
Kind of too bad really. Before the Gay community became the bullying, multi-lettered monster it is today it really was just a few people who had to be very careful about where they went and from the story it seems that this was one of the few safe spots. Times change though and the new trendy spots don’t seem to just be for Lesbians but for all the letters of the alphabet. It’s fun though to see the infighting among the letters.
Why do you need specific bars?
Is there a fat person bar?
A skinny person bar?
A senior citizen bar?
A white bar?
A black bar?
A bald bar?
A tranny bar?
A gun bar?
A no gun bar?

Who needs lesbian or gay bars when gender fluid rules the day?
Heck, we were light years ahead of the curve. They’re called discos.
Maybe they all eventually stabbed each other with screwdrivers.
That, or they found a new hankerin’ for farming.
They went bankrupt on Ladies Night.
Smell of fish after 45 years was too much.
Rumor has it they wore the horn off the saddle on the mechanical bull and couldn’t afford a new saddle.
Lost their licker license.
X-wood was appropriate…….no wood allowed.
How does one go out of business selling alcohol?
If it was such a great place they wouldn’t be going under.
I posit that dealing with lesbian drama drove them out.
That and having to rock paper scissors to see who cleans the men’s bathroom
Looks like the Drunken Clam West. I could see Peter Griffin stumbling in, and hijinks ensuing.
I thought L.A. stood for “Lower Alabama.”
Home Depot just opened a new store down the street and it’s drawing all the business away.
Who doesn’t want a mixed drink from a bartender with open sores?
bayouwulf,
That’s actually where I am now, Lower Alabama (Pensacola). Been a resident here for 30 years.
I just got back from 5 months of working in California, right near the location of the bar that’s the topic of this thread.
Liquor in the front, Liquor in the rear. They don’t play poker.
How do you build a lesbian bar? No studs just tongue in groove..
I’m very grateful, indeed, I am well beyond the age of wanting to go “clubbing”. Anywhere, today.
And the residents of the neighborhood breath a sigh of relief and the stance of rotting fish slowly fades away.
And the stance = as the stench
Van Nuys, Van Nuys!
It’s a wonderful town!
Maybe the Heath Department shut them down for lack of sanitation?
A city the size of L.A. and a little bar dedicated to one clientele can’t stay open or find a new owner? The place died of neglect.
Maybe the clientele got tired of being served “stiff drinks”.
What? The commie state allowed them to fail?
It ground to a halt cuz they never changed the gender fluid…
The lezzies and queers all descended on Palm Springs who welcomed them with open arms. That’s why the former pres likes to go there.
Hell, JMV if you’re going to be a spelling Nazi on yourself put an e on the end of breath too. 😀
If you want in on last call you better get there lickity split..
Van Nuys is over flowing with illegals. Whichever of them are gay couldn’t read the sign anyway.
That goes for Panorama City and North Hollywood, too. It’s a 3rd world area.
Anon–I don’t get it: Breath as in bad breath, and breathe as take air into the lungs and expel it.
The owner got a new job.
With Snap-On Tools.
JMV
You got it except you’re missing what you did.
“breath a sigh of relief”
breathe a sigh of relief
Second one is correct.
The clientel couldn’t support the business so it folded?
Capitalism, baby!
Maybe the owner got a little too cocky.
Anon– Yeah, I was at the Dr.s office today. People on painkillers should not post on websites.
Their specialty drinks are gonna be missed. My favorites were:
The Muff Diver
Dyke Fart
Wizard Sleeve Jell-O shots
Carpet Muncher Bitter Pale Ale
Lesbian Sex On The Beach
Ya sure that isn’t Sex On the Bitch?
LA used to be one big freeway. Now it’s one big bike lane.
what? … not enough use of flannel in the décor?
