Stop #17: Herz! Herz was founded in a Mobile, AL in October of 2019. It is a Black, queer, woman owned space. These are the stories of the humans that run it and the humans that call it a home. From the outside, Herz might be mistaken for a strip club. And that's intentional, according to co-owner Rachel. Rachel owns Herz with her wife, Sheila, who wanted to open a lesbian bar in her retirement. Kyler, a bartender at Herz, moved to Mobile from Birmingham, and immediately got a job at Herz. And Beyonce, who got his nickname from a group of bikers at another bar in town, bartends there as well.  Thank you for listening to Cruising Podcast!-Want to support Cruising?
