mission

The Brass Strap is a group of four dedicated queer artists, cultural workers, community organizers, and service workers across industries that are in the early stages of opening a cooperatively owned Queer & Lesbian bar in South Minneapolis.

We aim to provide an inclusive space for an intergenerational, intersectional community of Twin Cities residents to connect, share skills, support local artists, build chosen families, and above all else —

feel safe & seen.

We want our space to be as dynamic as our community - which is why we want the bar to be a community and worker-owned cooperative.

This way there is a direct say in what happens with the bar; how it should serve us. We will also change how bars are seen by offering inclusive spaces for people who might not otherwise feel welcome at a bar, such as having sober nights.
