1997 - The Lexington Club

July 24, 2020  /  Stud SF

The Lexington Club - Your neighborhood Dyke and Queer Bar opened in 1997, and it all started at a the pool table at the Stud. 

We are joined by  Lila Thirkield, owner of the Lexington Club which closed just a few years ago in San Francisco.  It's a sweet episode talking about queer solidarity, recent past of San Francisco and the changing economic and cultural landscape in queer nightlife.
