The NGA Beginning
Why No Girls Allowed?
Why No Girls Allowed?
Our founder, Holly Steele, felt the sting of antiquated male-centric rules when she joined a private golf and tennis club that had a bar and grill designated as “men only,” while women in the club enjoyed no such amenities.
Holly assumed the “men only” rule was likely an archaic throwback and figured it was not enforced. However, reality struck when she was turned away from ordering a drink in the bar because it was the "men's only bar". She was then told if she stepped outside, she could be served, or go upstairs to the main bar... a huge inconvenience at the turn. This moment of exclusion wasn’t just inconvenient—it was a wake-up call for change.
Holly's goal is not to invade men's spaces; she simply desires for women's areas to be equally inviting with similar conveniences.
Motivated to make a difference, Holly founded No Girls Allowed to advocate for equal treatment and top-tier amenities for everyone, regardless of gender.
