If I was near here, I’d go to this place just because of this

It's pretty great. It took over the spot of a gay bar in town which had evolved to be more of a general bar while being explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly. They had to shut down for various reasons. I/O took it over and has largely continued being LGBTQ+ friendly, but now with more pinball tables and old arcade games.

The fact public places need to explicitely say they are LGBT friendly makes our society feel dystopian. It's as if they had to say they are black people friendly or Jew friendly.

Well, for what it's worth, I don't think they make a big deal of it. In fact, the old bar had a sign to effect of "everyone is welcome here, but this is a queer space, and if you can't handle that, you will be asked to leave". I think that was taken down, but the spirit is still there.
