Title
Taverne
Subject
Lesbian bar
Description
A small, crude dive bar with ratty decor, a too-loud jazz band, the pervasive smell of beer, and "an aura of frustration and menacing sadism". Frequented by older butches/Bubis who often postured and argued while drunk and sometimes physically fought each other, and "troublesome, flirtatious" femmes/Mädis.
