I believe it finally closed, sorry.
It went out with a 4-day party, complete with wet underwear contest:
The historic Laguna Beach gay bar says goodbye with four days of partying - wet undie contests and all.

Fred Karger is a man who follows his heart, his conscience, his spirit, his desire and his beliefs. I have known Fred for over 40 years and this documentary epitomizes the man I have known almost forever. Keep following your dream Fred and you will find it.

This is excellent! Really insightful yet fun film about small town activism. Really liked how the different generations seemed to band together for their cause. It should be on Bravo or Logo or better!!

I lived in Laguna Beach (Moss Point and Coast Highway) in the '80s, when I was in my 20s. I went to the Boom every weekend, and many nights after dinner I'd walk up there.
In those days, it was horribly smoky, which was very unpleasant for me.
It's very sad that Laguna is losing its gay community.
