The Knotty Pine
This is another gay club scene, and we know something about it.
It was the Knotty Pine Bar in Tampa, Florida in the 1950s.
Known as Tampa’s first gay bay, The Knotty Pine opened in the 1940s at 723 Morgan Street in downtown Tampa. It eventually became the first "Kikiki" bar. The location is now the Robert L. Timberlake, Jr. Federal Building, named for a police officer killed by his own weapon.
