TOWN, DC’S LARGT GAY BAR, IS CLOSG. WHAT DO  MEAN?

Washgton DC’s Historic Gay Leather, Levi, Rubber, Uniform, Gear and Jock Bar. Uproar Lounge & Rtrant is a bar an relaxed pub experience for the Gay Bear & LGBTQ Co... Washgton, DC’s olst ntuoly operatg gay bar, the DC Eagle, has announced that is closg permanently.

The closg of the DC Eagle and Ziegfield’s after the closure of several other DC area gay bars recent years. “This is a historic loss bee we’re the olst and largt gay bars D. Town, the massive gay dance club Shaw, announced last week that will close next summer after mors to the ntrary.

I me out twelve years ago, and like many queer kids DC, I sought out gay bars as a refuge.

HOW 'THE EAGLE' BEME ONE OF THE MOST REGNIZED GAY BAR NAM

Yet many of the plac I equented are gone: Phase 1 Barracks Row, Apex Dupont Circle, Ins Fairfax (which wasn’t a gay bar, but hosted a lot of drag shows), not to mentn all of the LGBT clubs Navy Yard that closed to make way for Natnals Park over a ago. When Town opened 2007, the sleek, warehoe-style club seemed out of place at 8th and Florida, far om DC’s tradnal “gayborhood” on 17th Street.

But did lead the gay muny’s shift further east towards Shaw, herg a new generatn of bars, like Dirty Goose, Takoda, and Uproar. What do Town closg mean for the cy’s gay muny? Contributors agree that the “gayborhood” isn’t gog anywhere, but won’t look the same the future.

Town was the first gay bar I ever vised, but I met my boyiend of the last three years at a (straight) bar. All that said, I hope that the owners of Town follow the lead of DC Eagle and Secrets, which found new hom so they uld ntue to wele both people at a gay bar for their first time and people who experience every week. Canaan Merchant noticed a siary between gay venu and DIY mic venu:.

THE GAY WAY: HISTORY OF LBIAN BARS SOUTHEAST WASHGTON, D.C.

Obvly sucks to lose a well-loved place but at the same time…I don't thk the actual activy (whether s gay bar or DIY mic shows) is disappearg necsarily though the landspe is certaly changg. Tracy Loh says ’s no surprise that Town led to other velopment, cg the example of other “gayborhoods. A lot has been wrten before about the role of gay “pneers” jumpstartg growth property valu by crementally vtg real tate and muni.

D.C.'S BT GAY BARS AND HANGOUTS

A muny wh a lot of disvtment but historil charm, gay people are the only on not racist or otherwise prejudiced enough/sperate enough for a place to stake a claim to see the value opportuny and have the risk-tolerance to act on , and so a gayborhood is born. Matt Friedman says DC has lost a lot of gay venu, but new on are always takg their place.

At the news of the closg of Town, I joked to some iends that “the gayborhood is everywhere now. Durg my first n DC, most of the gay bars were loted around Dupont Circle. Gay bars provid a safe space at a time when was a lot harr to meet other LGBT people.

Buckg the trend, new gay bars have opened, like Tra and Uproar. Gay bars aren't ad.
