Peanuts – West Hollywood (1979–1995) For over two decades, Peanuts was a cornerstone of West Hollywood’s lesbian and queer nightlife. Known for its late-night energy, live shows, and a reputation that drew women from across Los Angeles, it provided a rare and vital space where queer women could gather openly. Peanuts wasn’t just a bar—it was a scene, a sanctuary, and a launchpad for countless friendships, romances, and memories that helped define West Hollywood’s cultural identity.
