TY - JOUR PY - 1957// TI - The Neighborhood Tavern and the Cocktail Lounge a Study of Class Differences JO - American journal of sociology A1 - Gottlieb, David SP - 559 EP - 562 VL - 62 IS - 6 N2 - The neighborhood tavern and the cocktail lounge exhibit a relationship between the use of leisure and its meaning to the individual. The lounge caters to a transient clientele which does not form a cohesive group. But the tavern, a product of neighborhood and catering to individuals with similar backgrounds, becomes the center of a voluntary association enforcing group norms and organizing group action.
