This book is very well researched and compiled, and it shined especially in telling the stories of many of the bar’s patrons. I was most invested in the story when these people were at the forefront, and this book compiles a very personal story about this small specific place, while also broadening the scope to touch on the political climate and contemporary movements. Definitely recommend you pick up this book if you enjoy reading true crime, lesser known or buried history, and/or LGBTQ+ history.
