Belmont Hotel Coffee Shop
Milwaukee
Summary
(As shown below, while the next-door Gaytime Bar was listed in nearly every national Gay Bar Guides only from about 1965 to 1967, the Belmont Hotel Coffee Shop was listed only off and on in national gay guides, until at least 1971.) The Belmont Hotel Coffee Shop was a downtown Milwaukee hotel eatery that served as an informal gathering place for gay men during the 1960s.
It appeared in national gay travel guides from 1962 through 1971, sometimes alongside the nearby Gaytime Bar, which was listed next door from about 1965 to 1967.Beyond these directory listings, very little is documented about the establishment's history.
