I heard just before heading to work last night that the Shamrock had once again closed its doors with no indication prior that it would. This is the second time in a year and third in two that the doors closed and the buzz that I'm hearing hopefully is just rumors.

Many of the bartenders stopped in to WOOF's last night to spend some time together and patronize the freshman gay bar in town.

I have a lot of respect for the owner of the Shamrock, Glenn Jahns and know that he has gone through a lot with his ownership of the Shamrock. I am greatful to him for everything he has done for the LGBT community and the community at large as he is truly a selfless man of the community at large. Best to everyone at the Shamrock.
