Inclusive LGBTQ+ pub dedicated to women's sports
Mission Statement
Q-Hall aims to create a welcoming space celebrating lesbian, bi, trans, queer women, GNC and N-B individuals' history and contributions. We’re dedicated to promoting camaraderie, belonging, and sustainability through inclusive events and local sourcing, enhancing Asheville's LGBTQ+ community. Vision Statement for Q-Hall:
Q-Hall
aspires to be more than just a venue; it seeks to be a sanctuary where the joy and camaraderie of sports meet the profound journey of personal identity discovery. Recognizing the significant role sports play in shaping identities, Q-Hall is dedicated to creating a space where every individual, particularly queer women, GNC, and N-B Folx, can find community, acceptance, and a sense of belonging. While not all women and girls in sports identify as LGBTQ, Q-Hall embraces the diversity of all attendees, offering a safe haven where being your true self isn’t just accepted—it’s celebrated. Our vision extends to making Q-Hall a cornerstone of community life where the nuances of queer identity can be understood and embraced. Whether you found your community on the playing fields, through college clubs, or are still seeking that connection, Q-Hall aims to resonate with your experiences and foster an environment of growth and affirmation. Here, every cheer shared, every game watched, and every event held enriches our collective story, empowering us to embrace and celebrate diverse identities within the broader tapestry of the LGBTQ+ community. Q-Hall stands proudly on the shoulders of giants—pillow queens, stone butches, radical fairies, and every courageous soul who's dared to love out loud. We’re not merely reminiscing; we're forging ahead, creating a space that welcomes every shade of the rainbow. While our spirit cherishes the legacy of lesbian/queer women's bars, our vision is broader, embracing every hue of the LGBTQ+ spectrum. 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️♀︎⚦ ⚧ ⚲
We've felt the absence, heard your stories, and seen the need for a space that's unmistakably ours - every hour, every day. 🕰️❤️
Q-Hall is that space - a beacon of safety, celebration, and community for lesbian, gay, bi, queer, trans, non-binary folks, and all who ally with us. Here, tradition and inclusivity dance in harmony, creating a place where you can simply be. A place that's ours, through and through. 🤝💖
We're imagining becoming Asheville's premier destination for screening women's professional and college-level sports, a pioneering concept in the area. During the day and early evening, Q-Hall will stand out by offering community-building experiences that diverge from the traditional nightlife scene. With services like a pub and beverage service, private event space, an arts and crafts gallery, pay-to-play games, and regular sports screenings, we'll host movie nights, educational workshops, and pop-up events, elopement in a setting that reflects the rich tapestry of lesbian and queer women's culture and our broader connection to the LGBTQIA+ legacy. We're dedicated to empowering and connecting Western North Carolina's vibrant LGBTQ+ community, estimated at 55,000 to 80,000 individuals, by providing a space that's not just safe, but rich in culture and shared experiences.
