While generally considered a Lesbian bar, a mention in In Step's "Steppin Out" column stressed that the bar was "serving both women AND men" (IS SO 9-25)- and the formula for business seemed to work: the exclude continued to manage into at least 2001.

A Glance at Green Bay's History Green Bay is named after is part of Lake Michigan. It is separated from the rest of the lake by a bit of land called the Door Peninsula, which is characterized by green algae in the water, which originally lent its name to the city. It initially began to increase due to its strategic location as a point of trade and gateway to the Fox, Wisconsin, and Mississippi Rivers. Subsequently, in the 1870s, when the railroads began to replace steamboats as the main form of transportation, Green Bay became a center of iron smelting, lumber milling, and manuscript products.
