Beloved Ocean Springs bar Kwitzkyâs Dugout closing after 16 years By Tristan Ruppert | May 15, 2021 at 7:04 AM CDT - Updated May 15 at 7:32 AM
OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (WLOX) - A staple of the South Mississippi bar scene will soon close its doors.
Kwitzkyâs Dugout opened back in 2005, and in the sixteen years since has become a beloved bar in the City of Discovery. The good times will roll until the end of May for the regulars of Kwitzkyâs dugout.
âItâs heartbreaking because this is where we go, this is where we meet, and these are the faces we see every time we show up,â said loyal patron and fellow business owner Gayle Jones.

Odette Casamayor-Cisneros talks with Megan Howell about her short story “Patriotic Sex” from her collection
Una casa en los Catskills. Erin Goodman’s English translation of the story is available in
Megan Howell: In “Patriotic Sex,” an Afro-Cuban woman reflects on her tumultuous relationship with Humbercito, a white Cuban American. Her allusions to slave barracks, sexual violence, and intergenerational trauma are more reminiscent of James Baldwin’s “Going to Meet the Man” or Gayle Jones’s
Corregidora than, say, the euphemistic depictions of interracial sex in shows like
Always a Witch and
Escrava Isaura. At the same time, she’s not a complete victim; she has agency, going out of her way to seek out Humbertico.
