[5] The Gate of Horn outgrew its basement and moved to a larger venue on Rush Street near Oak.
This was also one of the clubs at which stand-up comedian Lenny Bruce performed, in December 1962, before his arrest and trial for obscenity.
The original Gate of Horn site at 755 N. Dearborn is now a hi-rise rental apartment building; a similar fate befell the building which last housed the 1950s and 1960s free-speech coffee house "The College of Complexes" which was at 515 N. Clark Street—a few short blocks away.
[3] The Gate of Horn appears in the 2013 film Inside Llewyn Davis; its exterior as a visual effect with a set construction interior.
