Episode Details

Albuquerque’s LGBTQ+ community just got a long-awaited win: Vers Bar, a vibrant new queer gathering space, is set to open in Nob Hill next weekend. Founded by Lucas Romero and Luke Rogers after noticing a post-pandemic void in dedicated queer venues — the city has fewer than other similarly sized towns — the bar started as community meetups called “Friends of Dorothy” that drew nearly 400 people. Now, they’ve transformed a former distillery into a full-fledged bar with a dance floor and event space next door. With a soft opening this weekend and a grand launch coming up, Vers Bar isn’t just a bar — it’s a heartfelt, much-needed home for Albuquerque’s queer culture.
