Dennis Wolke was a popular bartender at La Cage nightclub.
Dennis Wolke & Mike Murphy met in February 1981. Mike had started bartending at C'est La Vie, then went over to Club 219. Both Mike and Dennis later worked as bartenders at LaCage, where Mike spent 16 years bar tending. They "retired" and moved to Florida in October of 2007 (where they live fairly close to former LaCage owners George & Corey). They celebrated 30 years together in February 2011.
