Juneau's Tracy LaBarge is the new owner of the historic saloon in downtown Skagway.
Red onions were passed around at the retirement celebration and seasonal close of Skagway’s Red Onion Saloon on Oct. 10. Oct. 10 was the final night of the season under the current owner. Patrons shared wild stories and reminisced about the old days.
The saloon has always been a place to find love. Lara Labesky got two marriages out of it. Coincidentally, both men were named Denny. Red Onion started Skagway’s first drag show about 20 years ago, before drag was widely accepted. The funds raised went to a specific community member in need.“It started off as not necessarily queer focused, but just you know, community members who wanted to perform,” Potter said. “Straight men who were willing to perform in drag for the benefit of their community. And it was always just the best night of the year.
