Dziekan III/Getty ImagJuly 31, 2013Last week, Splash, a sprawlg two-floor gay club on Wt 17th Street Chelsea, announced that was closg on Aug. Oodl of gay ins — cludg Madonna, Brney Spears, Kylie Mogue, Katy Perry and both Pattis (LaBelle and LuPone) — had patronized the club or performed on s notorly ty stage.
But s ntributn to gay culture was more mocratic. Opened 1991, jt as gay men were lonizg Chelsea, Splash pneered a new kd of gay bar: was big, sleek and shy. The format would be seen at gay bars worldwi, cludg the Raidd Bar Paris, the Saloon Mneapolis and the Glam club on Mykonos.
In recent years, however, Splash had trouble drawg a crowd as the cy’s gay scene migrated to Hell’s Kchen and the East Village. LANDECHE I wanted to open a place for gay men to go out any night of the week.
