“Over the years we have seen it all… 911, the 2008 recession and Super Storm Sandy in 2012. That club’s manager Steve Delurba said the bar would search for a new venue but that he was not confident they would find a space, according to The Blade.Īs queer bars shutter or struggle to remain afloat in trying financial times, Henrietta Hudson, an iconic lesbian bar in New York City, has turned to the community to ensure the 29-year-old gathering space is still standing once the worst of the pandemic has passed. The reason behind the closure of that space was to demolish the building for a high-rise apartment project. Eagle comes less than a week after the queer nightclub Ziegfeld’s-Secrets announced via Facebook that it would also be closing. The announcement of the closure of the iconic D.C. Other Eagle bars that were a part of this reimagining included the Baltimore Eagle which has closed and reopened multiple times over the past few years. These events would have been out of place historically. Across it's multilevels the massive venue hosted drag competition, circuit parties, and more. Eagle not only boasted its titleholder competition but was one of the busiest venues in recent years during Mid-Atlantic Leather, or Leather Weekend in the city - they also expanded. While they maintained the brand's leather origins - the D.C. It was a part of a new wave of Eagle bars opening or reopening that envisioned a new way forward, adjusting to inghtlife. When it opened in its new space there was a lot of excitement for the D.C. “And I thank you for providing so many people a space to be themselves, drink, and have a good time.” Thank you for taking such good care of us queens and giving so many entertainers a chance to have the spotlight,” Enman said.

But that's not something you should pay forward.“I’m so devastated that we’re closing,” drag performer Matt Enman wrote on Facebook, according to the Blade. Who knows, maybe you were just having a bad day. I hope this prevents you from doing the same to someone else in the future. Compounded with the trouble I took out of my way to patronize your establishment, you ruined my day and made me feel like less than a person. Whoever you are, bartender, you really hurt my feelings. I paused and almost turned around to just order a beer but everyone was staring at me as if I was some piece of garbage so I just left in tears.

I said I hadn't decided yet, just water for a minute and I have to use the bathroom to which he cut me off and said "you know what, do me a favor and get out" I was so embarrassed and stunned and surprised that my feet carried me to the door before I could even think. He stared at me after I politely waited for him to finish up with his other customers and he asked me what drink I wanted. The man said"you have to get a drink I'm not just handing ice waters out" I assumed he knew I knew that and I laughed it off and said "yeah of course I used to be a bartender" I was hot, exhausted and parched and alcohol could wait for a glass of water and a trip to the bathroom while I decide what cocktail I want, right? Wrong. When I arrived, I politely asked for a glass of ice water. So before heading back to the train station I decided to take, according to my phone, a 1.7 mile WALKING detour to steam punk. I had errands to run in the city and was in a rush leaving and I'll advisedly wore jeans and a hoodie to take the train downtown and end up doing a LOT (like miles) of walking in like a million degrees weather. It's been a while since I've been back because the memories make me want to cry.So a few weeks ago, someone fell asleep driving on the highway and totaled my car. That is.until Jason dies on Christmas Eve two years ago in a tragic accident. Tina and Mikey were the best, and going out meant without question going to stream punk. I am not the sort of person who would take the time to do this kind of review but.So, before, when it was still steam punk alley, this bar was mine and my former boyfriend Jason Lewis favorite bar ever. If I could, I'd narrow this review specifically to the bald bearded awful bartender working this afternoon.
