Jimmy's Hi-Fi Lounge
Wauwatosa
Summary
Jimmy's Hi-Fi Lounge, later known as Swittel's, was a bar near 68th and State Streets in Wauwatosa, just outside Milwaukee. Jimmy Swittel ran the gay bar on the upper floor, reached through a green door and reportedly a password, while a straight bar operated downstairs. Contributors recalled its exotic decor and fancy cocktails. It appears in national gay guides from 1964 and again from 1971 through the late 1970s, and is no longer listed after about 1979.
