The club originally was called, “Garden of Allah” in the 50’s and the word was it was connected to the mob.
In 1953 the building burned to the ground. In 1954 it was rebuilt and renamed “The Flame” and continued in the 50’s as a Steak House and a Burlesque Show.
Jump forward to 1984 when it began it’s notorious run as a Lesbian Bar.
In 2008, new management and owners started changing the format of The Flame to a venue more open to different groups to better serve the community and it’s patronage.
In 2009 NEW MANAGEMENT took over the venue officially and it has been changing for the best . If you have not been in the venue in a few months you will notice several FUN improvements.
