In honor of Drive-Away Dolls, which has scenes set in two fictional late-90s dyke bars in the South — Butter Churn and The She Shed — I thought it would be fun to revisit some iconic dyke bars from history. Take this personality quiz, and I’ll match your energy to a historical dyke bar (at least one of them is still open!) and provide a short history lesson, too. For this quiz, we’re focusing on cities outside of LA, NYC, Chicago, etc., with a particular emphasis on dyke bars in the South and the Midwest. We’re going to time-travel for this quiz! The year in 1999, and you’re getting ready for a night out on the town…
