Papagaio's bar, a primarily "straight" bar, hosted Sunday-only gay nights.

(According to "MilwaukeeRockPosters.com": "Papagaio's was a short-lived club that was run for a while as the Underground by Tony Selig, which was odd since you had to climb UP the stairs to get in. But it made sense since Tony had been running a club a few doors down with the same name. It was also known as Club New York for a short time. The building has since been torn down, along with the original Underground.")

(An article from "CudahyNOW.com" in April 2007 reports that the bar from Papagaio's was preserved and reused in The City Lounge, at 3455 E. Layton Ave.: "The back and extensive front bar were both preserved from Papagaio's, the popular downtown bar/concert venue from the 1980s, and were restored to look as good as new.")
