The Lambda Lounge was opened mid-1977. Its advertisement in the August 1977 issue of GPU News reads that this bar was "Formerly Doris' Super Bar" and was now "Under new management". The ad also states that it was at that time "The Fox Valley's One and Only Gay Bar". The Lambda Lounge appeared in national gay guides until 1982, after which there is no further listing for it.
Any further information about either of these businesses is welcome.
