The Nobody’s Darling bar is owned by two Black queer women, who’ve become Chicago’s second and third Black and queer bar owners in a city with a long history of segregation. “Be an outcast: be pleased to walk alone (uncool) or line the crowded river beds with other impetuous fools.” This quote, from the poem “Be Nobody’s Darling” by Alice Walker, inspired the name of a new lively queer bar on a quiet street in the Chicago neighborhood of Andersonville.
