Roosterfish, located in Venice, CA, is a historic gay bar and restaurant that has been serving the Westside gay community for over 36 years. Founded in 1979 by Walter Schneider and B.M. Alexander, also known as Alex, Roosterfish was initially established in West Hollywood before relocating to its current location on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice. The bar was named after the roosterfish, a feisty game fish found off the coast of Mexico near Cabo San Lucas, a place that Walter and Alex enjoyed sailing. After the passing of Alex in 1988 and Walter in 2006, the bar was left to their accountant, Doug Amann, Donald Rhyde, Don Cranford, and Gary Mick, who now manages the establishment. Today, Roosterfish is a popular hotspot for the gay community, attracting a discerning clientele from Southern California and beyond.
