I guess, from the title, I was expecting something different; more about the bars, their history, etc. I didn't have a problem with the author adding stories about her own life but at the end, I thought "damn, I wish we had gotten more about this place" for a lot of the bars; also more on why they were actually closing. A lot of references and jokes were lost on me, mainly because I'm a Gen Z non-American lesbian, so I was pretty lost most of the time and had to google things often. Nonetheless, I still got to read about places that sound pretty awesome and that I definitely need to visit someday, and the author's writing was interesting enough to keep me reading all day.

Also, the book cover is so fucking cool.
