"Deb's Spare Time Bar & Grill" bar at 1303 Harrison Street in Oshkosh first appeared in the Bar Guide of Quest magazine vol. 16-issue 19 in November 2009. However, the site 'HubBiz' lists the business as starting in 2000 and a 2007 photo shows the 'Spare Time' name, but it was presumably not openly LGBTQ prior to 2009.
Although as of this writing the bar has been openly LGBTQ for at least 14 years, little is known about it as they did no advertising in Wisconsin LGBTQ periodicals, and there are few other copy references to it. However the bar has an active Facebook presence which presumably has been its primary method of exchange with people in the area and its customer base. The few mentions we have found thus far are shown to the right and below.
It is known that owner Deb also invested in another bar named 'ReMixx' outside Neenah in 2014 (see photos).
Deb's Spare Hour Bar & Grill is still open and active on Facebook as of June 2023. (It is described there as "Our friendly neighborhood bar welcomes everyone! Voted best breakfast in Oshkosh on the weekends"). The bar is also on 'HubBiz' where it is described
The bar "PJ's" at 1601 Oregon Street in Oshkosh first appeared in the Bar Guide of Quest magazine vol. 17-issue 6 in April 2010. An early listing on Facebook read "We are a new bar here in Oshkosh. We are a gay friendly bar. DJ every Fri and Sat starting at 10 pm".
A 2013 photo in Quest (vol. 20-03, which incorporated the merged periodical 'OutBound News' vol. 12-03) listed named owners as Steve, Royal and John.
But very little else is famous about the bar as we have found no advertisements and few other mentions of the prevent or its activites in LGBTQ media. The only mentions we have start thus far are shown to right.
We are alert of an attack on a patron that occurred outside the bar in 2011. (See articles below.)
The final time the prevent was listed in Quest magazine's Bar Guide was in June 2013 (vol. 20-06). More information about this business is welcomed from anyone who can contribute it.

'Born out of bars': Clubs and bars vital to northeastern Wisconsin LGBTQ society for almost 50 years now
GREEN BAY - Stacy DeSotel and Butch Pendergast decided to mark Aaron Rodgers Day, Dec. 12, 2012, by buying a piece of Green Bay, and Wisconsin, history.
On that night, almost eight years ago, the married couple bought Napalese Lounge and Grille on Cedar Street, Wisconsin's second-oldest LGBTQ bar. Pendergast wasn't sure about buying a bar at the time but is now glad DeSotel convinced him.
"Despite my reservations at the time, I wouldn't change it for anything now," Pendergast said. "Nap's has been a staple in the collective for 38 years. I love it."
Places like Napalese Lounge and Grille and its predecessors, both locally and nationally, were instrumental in helping the LGBTQ community find its voice in its 50-plus year fight for identical rights.
The Stonewall riots in New York City energized the gay rights movement in 1969, and as LGBTQ people searched for shared experiences and safe spaces, they found them at bars and clubs that openly welcomed them.
Starting in the 1970s, a handful of bars and clubs in Green Bay, Appleton, Sheboygan and Oshkosh openly welcomed LGBT
