Sugar Closing
Posted by Gian on November 20th, 2007
Due to a shooting at Sugar on Capitol Hill, it looks like the bar will be closing. When the club first opened, it was mostly a gay customers. For some reason, the bar changed it’s format (and clientèle) and then started it’s quick descent. There has been quite a bit of violence at the bar within the past year.
The thing that confuses me about this whole mess is, why would the owner take a mostly-gay bar in the second gayest neighborhood in the US and make it straight? The crowd this club attracts has been, sadly, not very gay-friendly. Is the owner simply an idiot? There has been a rise in gay bashings on CH within the last year. Not surprisingly, there has been an increase in yuppy straight clubs as well. I know correlation does not equal causation… but come on people!
Sugar when gay…
Sugar without the gays… noticeably more bland.
