Those pining for the buzz-cut babes and flag-waving mammas of small-town Lesbianville will feel right at home shooting pool or singing karaoke at this Park Slope institution.

Girls Girls Girls
Metropolitan, 559 Lorimer St., nr. Metropolitan Ave., Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Young, hip androgynous queers ride their fixed-gears to this weekly get-together to argue over postgraduate theses while D.J.’s spin pop and indie rock.

Henrietta Hudson
438 Hudson St., at Morton St.; 212-924-3347.
A no-nonsense party bar for rocker girls and brainy dykes looking to kick back without pretense.

Showstopper
