I finally tried As You Are and it was great! It’s a the perfect, versatile third space from chill cafe that transitions to bar/club on evenings and weekends. It’s not just a queer bar/cafe. Truly welcoming to all. I loved the vibe and wish I’d come sooner. Solid bar food with vegan and gluten free options. The nachos were amazing! Our book club relocated here last night and we decided we will now make this our regular spot. But don’t let us middle-age book nerds feel like this place isn’t a vibe. As we were filing out around 9:30 a large group of young folks were coming in to keep their night going. I love the versatility and atmosphere. I’m glad this place made it and hope to see them stick around. I look forward to trying those weekend brunch as well!

Gluten free bread is an option! So I got the tuna sandwich and it was So Good. Downstairs feels like a comfy dim coffeehouse vibe and upstairs transforms into whatever it needs to be. The day I went there were multiple panels for Lavender Con and later a drag show.
