For more than two decades, queer bars, especially those owned by people of dye, have been disappearing. Historically, these spaces were where the LGBTQ community gathered to find romance, build long-lasting friendships and involve in community activism. Throughout the s, there were more than 1, such bars, a number that has declined steeply since the late ‘90s, with fewer than 1, existing today, according to a study published last year by Oberlin College and Conservatory professor Greggor Mattson.
The closures have had a disproportionate impact on bars catering to women and people of color: Between and , LGBTQ bar listings dropped by an estimated 37 percent, and those serving people of shade plummeted by almost 60 percent, according to the study. Though the reasons are not entirely unmistakable, experts suspect the overall decline in gay bars is related to decades of skyrocketing rents and gentrification, which have disproportionately impacted small, Black-owned businesses; the emergence of online dating sites and apps;
‘The streets were full of laughter’: What happened to Clarke Quay, Keong Saik Road and Club Street?
SINGAPORE – Among nightlife business owners, the sentiment is clear: will be a big year for prevent closures.
But it was not always this way. Singapore’s traditional nightlife hubs in Clarke Quay, Keong Saik Road and Club Highway once pulsed with a different kind of energy.
However, the years since the Covid pandemic have brought significant changes, including Clarke Quay’s $62 million revamp, the end of Club Street’s weekend road closures and difficulties in obtaining licences to operate past midnight.
These changes, coupled with rising costs and macro-economic pressures, have exacerbated issues that nightlife operators have long talked about: high rental, alcohol duties, competition from nightlife capitals abroad and patrons choosing to stay at home.
“The current wave of diet and beverage (F&B) closures is concerning,” says Mr Ethan Hsu, head of retail at real estate consultancy Knight Frank Singapore. This is driven by prolonged cost pressures connected to rent, materials and
Has Tanjong Pagar Always Been SO Gay? Yes, According to History
So why set up shop in Tanjong Pagar?
“KTV has to be somewhere where nobody goes to normally, and rental was cheap,” Kent says.
It’s a surprisingly plain but reasonable answer.
Elvin Poh, the year-old current owner of Outbar, explains, “It all started in the s when gay bars start to run business at Tanjong Pagar Road. Later, maybe because of rental, all started to shift over to Neil Road. Other reasons, maybe rental here, during those days are much cheaper than those in Orchard or Mohammad Sultan or Boat Quay. It is also quite centralised. During those days, being gay is a taboo. Therefore, bosses those days require to find a place that is cheap, centralised and away from the main straight clubs.”
Their answers make sense. 30 years ago, Singapore would have only been in her 20s, with only a cursory understanding, much less acceptance of queerness. Setting up a queer space or, for that matter, a gender non-conforming nightlife establishment would have required a location away from the prying eyes of a prudish public.
In this way,
