Editorial Review for Babe's – by Kristine Forrest
The Bar
During the day, lunchtime revelers pack it in while take-out orders of home-cooked meals fly out with hungry haste. At nighttime Babe's becomes what Richmonders hope, fear and imagine it to be: an alternatively hip lesbian bar. The beauty of this place is that every type of lifestyle is welcome--as one of the city's best places to see live music, it's a shame for anyone to be excluded.
The Live Music Scene
Think Babe's is too small to attract a crowd? Think again. The main bar area has the typical booths and tables, but another oversized room holds a stage and has enough room for a large number of live music fans. Regardless of your lifestyle, you'll feel comfortable in this smoky, relaxed but loud spot. The bar is no-nonsense, clean and attracts everyone from hard-core lesbians to straight-laced music lovers.

They will kick your a$$ out! I know more ppl that have been thrown out of that place than actually go there anymore. Yes Babes keep that up and soon enough you wont have a soul left in this god forsaken city to wonder through the threshhold of your bar and spend money on your pathetic excuse for a bar... other than that its a nice place if you can stand all the evil conniving dks and fgs that go there. Food and drinks are good I know that for a fact. And yeah don't be an idiot and order meatloaf (who the hell does that at a bar anyways?) Sat nights fun and crowded. Bartenders could use a lesson in manners, yeah how about learn to say "thank you" or at least acknowledge my existance when I tip your a$$es.
Pros: volleyball court and pool tables. nice size dance floor
Cons: bad bad bartenders

Last nite was my first time at Babes. I really like the atmosphere. Very friendly toward ALL. Last night (Tuesday) was Line Dancing... Damn! I haven't done that in a long time. I'd like to try out Karaoke on Wednesdays... since I karaoke all around town, but haven't at Babes yet. I'm really hoping my experience with Babe's food last night was a fluke... 'cause it sucked! Don't order the Meatloaf! But hey... Great Gin & Tonics!
Pros: atmosphere, drinks, fun crowd
Cons: food (so far... I'd give it another shot)
