I love this list as a queer former bartender! Some more suggestions, all queer:
- The Pairing by Casey McQuiston
- For the Plot by Emily B. Rose
- Wherever Is Your Heart by Anita Kelly
All added! Thank you!
I’ll be back. I’ve got a few I think. Gotta confirm some gays in bars (the drink kind) 🫡
Looking forward to your recs!
Love this list! I love bars and cafes in my queer media. My discord server is actually themed that way as well ^-^
love, chocolate, and beer was a good one
wait this one isn't queer, i got excited and didn't fully read the description lol
Added anyway, since there is room for straight love on this list too, and a romance between a chocolatier and a brewer sounds, dare I say it, delicious!
