19: Playpen South - 1369 Richards St - Vancouver Gay Walking Tour (sitios de interés)

Descripción del sitio

Walk to the corner of Seymour and Drake St, turn left on Drake and walk one block east to Richards St, turn right and proceed to what was 1369 Richards. Though the address no longer exists (squeezed out once again by another new condo development), it once housed the very popular Playpen South.

"It was a fuck and suck bar," says Don Hann. "Everybody went there for backroom sex."

Hann remembers going to the after-hours Playpen (which only served soft drinks and snacks) after the nearby Gandydancer closed at 2 am. The Playpen South "was a sex bar," he says, reminiscing about the days when he'd find about 50 guys in the backroom at a time — "everybody doing everybody else."

Before it became the Playpen South, this space housed another gay club called Betwixt and Between from the 1960s to 1972, writes historian and environmental planner Gordon Brent Ingram in his 1998 book Vancouver (as queer)scape.
