DISCO/Vering The Seventies &#; Mapping the Village
By Joseph Abernethy
In the upcoming Issues of CommuniQue The ArQuives is going to explore the shifting locations and histories of Toronto&#;s changing LGBTQ2+ bar scene. Starting with the 70’s and running into the ’s each article will examine a decade of change. The focus will be primarily on spaces that catered to the city’s vibrant queer community and what’s become of those spaces. The analyze for this series has been conducted using sources available in our collections and includes articles written for The Body Politic, Ryerson business surveys, clippings from The Toronto Star and complaint letters written to city counselors.
The 70’s:
Working with what is adj at The ArQuives a lot of the material on this decade is limited to the end of the decade. This is in part because by the end of the 70’s the gay liberation movement was gaining steam leading to more documentation. As The ArQuives uncovers more history we’re actively seeking the untold stories of Toronto&#;s diverse queer communities.

There are barely any gay bars left in Toronto. Let alone queer bars or queer spaces. Since we launched this article in , a few spots on the list have since closed?! (That’s Cherry Cola’s, Lavendar Menace and a couple others) Just because a bar or club hosts queer nights or events doesn’t always mean they're a queer space, there are nuances and so many more things to think about than putting a drag queen on stage and queer person behind the decks. This is why a list like this is more important than ever - these are spaces that although not all are queer bars, they are doing to the work to ensure we are safe.
The city is in desperate need of new 2SLGBTQ+ spots to gather, dance, party, converse, work, hang, chill and rage. While we navigate our community’s comeback (‘cause queers love a comeback story!), we’ve put together a list (in no particular order) of spots on our radar that are either queer-owned, queer-run, queer bars or queer-friendly.
If we missed any that you love, let us understand and we’ll check them out and hopefully add them to this list!
