- Finocchios_Club abstract "Finocchio's was a nightclub and bar in San Francisco. The history of the club started as a speakeasy called '201 Club' in 1929 located at 406 Stockton Street, in 1933 with the repeal of prohibition the club moved upstairs and started to offer female impersonation acts and eventually after police raids in 1936 the club relocated to the larger 506 Broadway location. Finocchio's night club opened June 15, 1936 and is located in San Francisco, California, above Enrico's Cafe at 506 Broadway Street in North Beach. The term \"Finocchio\" is Italian for fennel but is often a negative term for gay.Joe Finocchio, the creator of the club had the idea of a nightclub with female impersonators in costumes when a patron jokingly went on the stage of his club and did a routine that the crowd enjoyed. The club was not a gay club, but was strictly for the entertainment and fun. Though a number of gay performers worked there, some performers were straight as well. The acts were often including a diverse & varying ethnic-inspired performances such as geisha, which may have helped encourage tourist and contributed to the diverse, often mixed-race crowds which was unusual during this time of segregation. Many LGBTQ today don't think of professional female impersonator clubs as being particularly gay, but in the days before gay liberation they provided valuable semi-public social spaces for sexual minorities to congregate.Finocchio's was \"off limits\" during World War II, not due to the entertainment but rather for selling liquor to the military outside the authorized hours of sales. On December 31, 1943 the ban was lifted after Joe Finocchio and other bar owners signed an agreement to limit liquor sales to military personnel to between 5 pm and midnight.Finocchio's was a huge favorite with tourists during the 1930s through early 1990s. Joe Finocchio died in January 1986. Eve Finocchio, Joe's widow, decided to close the club on November 27, 1999 because of a significant increase in the monthly rent and dwindling audience attendance.Finocchio's was often referred to in drag circles, as old-school \"vanilla\" drag with performers in diva gowns singing or lip-synching to Top 40 ballads.A 14-page program was published, called \"Finocchio's: America's Most Unusual Nightclub\" published by Zevin-Present circa 1947 is about the club and can often be found in antique shops or from used book sellers.After the closure, another San Francisco establishment called Harry Denton's Starlight Room started a drag show in 2006 called \"Sunday's a Drag\" a brunch, female impersonation show modeled after Finocchio's. The \"Sunday's a Drag\" shows are hosted by one of San Francisco's most notable drag queens, Donna Sachet.".
