At one point it featured an all-male cabaret, for lesbians only. Its atmosphere was "easygoing [and] somewhat faded", with blacked-out picture windows (to hide the interior from prying eyes) and large restaurant-style booths with padded chairs; its clientele mainly consisted of "married" lesbian couples, many of them older women, conversing over coffee while a gay duo performed pop music on violin and piano or accordion. Occasionally social dances or box-steps would be danced. Men were tolerated in the establishment and sometimes danced with the femmes/Mädis, always requesting permission first from the Mädis' "Daddies"/Bubis/butches.

Title A name given to the resource Kaiserpassage Subject The topic of the resource Passageway/Building Complex Description An account of the resource The Kaisergalerie was a passageway and building complex was full of many economic attractions, such as stores, performance venues and hotels, etc. It was also a hot spot for people hoping to solicit prostitution, as there were a wealth of sex workers who frequented the area. They were both male and female, though the female prostitutes were much more visible, while the male prostitutes (because of the stigma/illegality of homosexuality) were typically more discreet.

Title A name given to the resource Karls-Lounge Description An account of the resource A somewhat exclusive establishment that stands out for a multitude of reasons, Karls-Lounge was known for the demographic it pandered to: teenage "line-boys", often coming in to unwind while still in nautical uniform. In league with this, the waiters were aging men and women often dressed in similar uniform, or as ship captains. The second factor that rendered Karls-Lounge so unique was its menu: despite being lumped in with gay bars, Karls-Lounge did not serve alcohol, given the amount of underage clientele it brought in. However, popular party drugs of the era such as cocaine and morphine were completely unprohibited, often used openly at the tables.
