Glada Ankan. Circa 2013.

"Nattetid tor, fre och lör öppnar vi upp vår nattklubb och dansar till sköna toner inspirerade av Berlin och Miami blandat med de bästa låtarna musiksverige har att erbjuda."

GAY LEATHER BAR HISTORY
https://www.cuirmale.nl/history/leatherbars.htm

***Memorable gay bar experiences>>>

Club Soda (North Miami), The Saint (Fort Lauderdale), Twist (South Beach, Miami), The Stonewall (New York SOHO), The Argos (Amsterdam), Admiral Duncan (London), Segretas Disco (Milano), Pan Disco (København).

There was also Glada Ankan (Karlstad, Sweden); but this was not a gay bar per se, it was the local social venue for non conformists where LGBTQi were welcome.

When I turned 21 in 1996, I ventured into The Tunnel in NYC; not a gay bar per se but nevertheless a memorable experience.

These experiences took place between 1997 and 2013. In the mid-2010's the apps (Grindr) took over and killed the gay bar. :(
