Very little is known about 'The Kloset' bar in Beloit. The 'Wisconsin Light' newspaper (volume 11-issue 19, pg 9) shows an advertisement for its Grand Opening as being September 12, 1998.

We have thus far found only a single additional advertisement, in the June-July 1999 issue of 'Quest' magazine, saying 'Come see who's in The Kloset', adverrtising a 4th of July drag show and dance.

We will be researching the dates this bar was listed in the media bar Guides to try to narrow the timeline.

Any additional information is available from anyone willing to contribute it.
