Title
Cafe Doppelherz at the Mann-O-Meter Café
Subject
Social club
Description
There are many calls for more shared spaces for queer people that are more subdued for those who do not enjoy an overly chaotic (and often sexualized) typical nightlife. Cafe Doppelherz seems to attempt to address some of these calls. It is a chill Cafe that caters to queer men over 45, as a refuge from the typically extremely young dominant demographics of the gay scene.
