The Black Cat(s): private party doesn't mean you're not invited

Happy Friday everyone! I have a couple other guest-writing assignments, please contact us if you're interested in helping us to expand our knowledge of Napa's queer community by checking either one of these out (or, if you're already a regular, letting us know what you think). I've had word through our tipline that there is still a couple other queer establishments that we need to check out, and both are named the Black Cat. Both need a thorough review, we only know what people have shared with us.

From what we can tell...

• Black Cat, Penngrove: I had thought was a lesbian bar (am I wrong?), but according to their website is for gay and gay-friendly, too (in their words: . It's located in the small, country-ish community of Penngrove, between Petaluma and Rohnert Park.
  According to their website:
  

  We are lesbian owned and operated, queer friendly, freak friendly and straight/ not narrow friendly. Our dress code is a smile and our theme is respect for all. Our goal is to provide a space for folks to have fun, and to create a caring and tolerant community...We feature entertainment every night of the week...there is rarely a cover!
  

• Black Cat, Napa: is a bit more underground (they for sure don't have a website), and is downtown. Held (every?) Friday and Saturday, it's a "private party", but that doesn't mean you're not invited. (Anyone know how to get on the guest list?) Pitch in for the beverages at the door and take time to meet and greet (and maybe really get to know) some of the other attendees. Rumor is Friday nights have less clothing than others. [Update: tipline rumors say this is a mainly male event. Sorry ladies.]
  
  [Update 2: More info on the (formerly secret) Black Cat Club has come in. Get the dish, here.]
  

Feeling adventurous? Been already? Let me know about your experience of one or both... observant, humorous writing is a bonus, but not required. ;)
