50 Gay Bars That Changed the World

By Chris Lloyd

50 Gay Bars That Changed the World is an illustrated celebration of the gay bars and pubs that have shaped and fostered queer identity over the past 100 years, with a foreword from advocate and ally Michelle Visage of RuPaul's Drag Race.

The book focuses on the most influential gay bars from all over the globe - from the vibrant drag scene at The Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London to New York's Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of Pride. Art meets history: discover Caf Manhattan in Cape Town, Africa's longest-running gay bar, and Copenhagen's Centralhj rnet, widely considered the oldest in the world. Each illustration is accompanied by vibrant text detailing the bar's address, history, stories and cultural significance, as well as the most important events that have taken place there.

From Berlin's inimitable avant-garde clubs to Manhattan's most historic venues, 50 Gay Bars That Changed the World will celebrate and immortalize our queer spaces through vivid artistry and storytelling.
