Lee, a truck driver for 35 years, was planning to sell the bar next year, when his daughter is set to graduate from college. Jung Lee, who has owned the historic bar for 18 years, says he is in the process of selling the Gangway, one year earlier than he'd originally planned.įive years ago, Lee's wife, who ran the bar, died of ovarian cancer, leaving him in charge. Over its long history, it's changed hands and names many times, and the latest switchover could be completed in just a few months.
The 104-year-old Gangway on Larkin Street is San Francisco's oldest gay bar.
