fundraiser is for the Shamrock Bar and Grill, which has been serving the LGBTQ community in Madison, Wisconsin for several decades.A change of management in 1985 saw it become officially gay (although it was already a local hotspot), and it’s now the longest-running gay bar in the city.It offers quite a unique environment – with a real mixture of people, gay and straight, popping in for food during the day (its Fish Fry menu is legendary!).
It’s also established itself as a firm supporter of the local community, helping out such charities as the AIDS Network Madison.
