The new owners of Mark III Taproom have announced they’ve purchased a new location for the oldest gay bar in the state.
Tracy Letzler and Ryder Martz, who assumed ownership of the Taproom earlier this year, shared news of the new property on at a meet-up drag show at Room Five Piano Bar July 19. The bar’s most recent location was at 306 S. Walnut St., where the bar's doors have remained shuttered since Jan. 2024 after a burst water pipe led to damage in the space.
