Sappho is a members' association with its own premises on Mejlgade, run by about thirty volunteers and a board. It started in 1992 as a women's house and the full name still says so. The membership today is mixed across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and the house line is that everyone is welcome.
It is not a bar in the commercial sense, although there is a bar. The feel is closer to a large living room: sofas, low light, no smoking indoors, and people who mostly know each other. Members' evenings are the way in, and membership is cheap and can be taken by the year or by the half year.
Several smaller groups meet in the house, and members can borrow the rooms for private occasions. For a visitor this is the place to go for an evening with local queer people rather than for a night out.
