We've had a few folks ask how to describe our concept so I've been starting to think of H&D like a cruise ship lounge. Much of the day the appeal is hanging out and relaxing and talking with others or playing games. Then they transition into having events like trivia before moving into a night

Taking a look around Bellevue, KY. It's a lovely area! Love seeing the pride flags and the BED is a fun idea! Definitely a location we're considering.

Had a call with a business coach and I'm even more excited. She's quite nice and knowledgeable, so I think we're going to be going in the right direction! Now to find a suitable location. Always looking for advice. If anyone has suggestions on LGBTQ-friendly areas in NKY, let me know!

First obstacle: Liquor Quotas! Today I learned both Ohio and Kentucky limit their liquor licenses. So... Yeah, that's something to contend with and may mean not having alcohol. I'm not sure how important that is these days. There are more and more of us who aren't big alcohol drinkers.

One thing I want to be very clear about with Hearth & Den:

This would be an 18+/21+ LGBTQ+ space, and everyone who respects the community is welcome.

Gay, bi, lesbian, queer
Trans and non-binary (Trans Rights!)
Furries
Pups
Leather
Nerds
Gamers
Drinkers and non-drinkers

I've been having this idea for awhile now. I think there is definitely a place for a LGBTQ+ social lounge, a place to come and hang out during the day, grab a coffee, meet up with friends, maybe make new friends, play some games, even work remotely while being amongst your people.
