The Bear's Paw was a gay club in Liverpool in the 1970s with a downstairs bar and and upstairs dance floor. It was located in Doran's Lane, of North John Street, and owned by Gorden Shearer.[1]
- The Bear's Paw attracted the 'better type of queen' [...] the rougher sort were not encouraged and went to Sadies's in Wood Street instead. [...] There was an unwritten law at the Bear's Paw that I was as yet ignorant of: it stated that if somebody offered to buy you a drink and you accepted, it went without saying that you had just agreed to sleep with them.[2]
