Welcome to the Neighbor’s
A LGBTQ+ centric, socially responsible restaurant and community space.
Coming soon to
Santa Cruz, California.


LGBTQ+ Centric
The Neighbor’s is more than a queer bar. With a menu of cafe beverages and food, we give the LGBTQ+ community a better, more inclusive space.
Beyond creating a physical space for LGBTQ+ people to mix and mingle, the Neighbor’s will create community through events of many types — from classes, drag competitions, to live entertainment.
Open Late Night
The Neighbor’s will be open until 3am. This offers the more crepuscular and nocturnal members of our community a place to eat, gather, work, and play.
From open to 8pm, well-behaved and leashed dogs and cats will be welcome on the patio. They will enjoy specialty treats and beverages alongside their well-behaved handlers. (These set hours will ensure the safety of our furbabies, as live performances may begin at 9pm).
Socially Responsible
The Neighbor’s is a company you’ll feel good supporting. A portion of the annual profits will go towards conservation work, both locally and globally. Another portion of the profits will be reinvested in the local LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and other marginalized communities. This may be through direct donations, collaborative fundraisers, or community events held at the Neighbor’s.
