“We want it to be a queer utopian night space,” says co-owner of the bar, Rachel Hosking. German-language stickers cling to the mirrors, and the abandoned wood-panelled booths, emanating a Nordic aesthetic, are clearly home to the ghosts of many an emptied beer stein.Īfter years of standing empty, from mid-April the venue will now host Adelaide’s queer community in its new life as small bar My Lover Cindi. There are remnants of that commitment in this venue still.
The aim of the organisation, which is still running in a different location, is to encourage and foster German culture.
