(Frequently Asked Questions)

Yes! And proudly so. While non-LGBTQ+ events can book our space, they must be LGBTQ-friendly in order for us to accept the booking.

Absolutely! We work with a wide range of community partners including community groups, charities, businesses and individuals. If you have an idea for the next big (or small) event for The Lair, then get in touch and let’s chat.

We do not have any regular opening hours. 100% of the programming at The Lair is event-based. So, check out the Upcoming Events page to see what’s coming up!

P.S. If there’s no event listed, it could mean that the event organizer did not wish to have it listed on our calendar, but it may still be happening. Contact the event organizer if you are unsure.

Yes! Event organizers are permitted to ask attendees to leave a tip or a donation, but coat check cannot have a mandatory cost and must be free.

Why? We believe that free coat check helps attendees worry less about their belongings an focus more on enjoying the event. It also helps ensure that belongings aren’t all over the venue which helps prevent lost and stolen items.

Plus, free clothes check also rules.

Yes! Transphobia is not permitted. Some events are for “guys only” or “women only” – the organizers of such events are required to ensure that trans men, trans women and non-binary folks are included.

It depends on the event. Please contact the event organizer if it is unclear to you wether you are invited or not.

Yes. We keep most items for up to 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, items are donated or recycled/trashed.

If you lost an item, contact us right away and we will do the best we can to help you find your item. Please understand that although we will do our best to help you revcover lost items, you alone are responsible for your items and The Lair is not responsible for lost/stolen items.

Note: perishable items (food, etc) and prohibited items (weapons, drugs, etc.) will not be given back to you for safety reasons.
