“After the Lily Tomlin performance the other night my friend and I peaked our heads into the Cherry Lounge and I decided right away I'd rather check out the gay bar, thank you very much. (This is not to say anything against the Cherry Lounge, I'm sure it's very nice, but I didn't feel like my people were there.) At Sneakers we chatted with two very nice women who also saw Lily's performance, enjoyed solid drinks that (to us, from NYC) were a total bargain and enjoyed the atmosphere, including pictures on the back wall of dyed-in-wool gay icons...Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow. The bartender was very friendly, the crowd was peaceful, there was a jukebox if you wanted to play something specific - not that you needed to, the music that was piped in was classic and gay-friendly. What more do you want from a gay dive bar? We will return when we come back to town.“
