The only gay bar in Forest Hills is having an identity change, its owner said.
Pride owner Georgios Aspiotis, who opened the watering hole on Austin Street in October 2013, said the venue wasn't making enough money and it's changing into a "neighborhood bar" to attract a broader clientele.
The bar will still be gay friendly but will no longer be described as a gay lounge, Aspiotis said Monday. He also plans to change the name of the bar to "Sorry Not Sorry," he said.
Starting July 1, I am changing the identity, Aspiotis wrote on the bars Facebook page, as first reported by Edge of the City.
It has been a great journey. The LBGT [sic] community has been so great... but unfortunately the spending and the register doesn't reach my goals.
While some of the decor might change, the bar will continue to offer the same drinks and hookah. It will also keep serving food from Greek restaurant Corfu Grill located next door, which is also owned by Aspiotis.
A farewell party for Pride patrons is being planned for the last weekend of June.
That’s what I was thinking. Normal people are selective about what we put in our mouths. Our gag reflexes are fully functional.
I still can’t eat an Oreo after what I’ve read about their connection to the homosexual lifestyle. I don’t know how much of what I read is true, and how much was hype, but it no longer matters. Every time I look at an Oreo, the thought is there. They could stop promoting their pro homosexual rainbow edition, but I still can’t put one of their cookies in my mouth.
I’m sure the same is true for this bar, and the greek style restaurant. You could never get it sanitized enough for normal people. Just nuke it from space.
Well.....I’ll betcha there ain’t one black light in the whole place. :0)
Yup.
Eventually, there will be nothing left for me to buy because every time I see an ad pandering to this tiny, twisted percentage of the population, I put them on my NOPE list.
I have an idea find a a gay bar that is catering weddings and owned by ultra militant homosexuals. get them to sign a contract to host reception at the bar for a non gay wedding while it is still open to its regular cliental. if we can find a couple that is will known for there stance on gay marriage in the media so they are recognizable to the bars clients it would be good. when the owners back out and refuse to honor the contract take them to court and sue to have them loose there business license.
Aspiotis? Does penicillin cure that?
Indeed. Just another friendly neighborhood bar!
Concur!
Made worse by the fact that gays tend to congregate in certain cities. San Fran’s relatively large gay population is achieved at the cost of other areas having lower concentrations.
One more in the name of love
The first known case of 'trans-alcohol'.
Won’t work. Gays are a protected group. Campaigners against gay marriage are not a protected group.
These laws are used to protect only certain groups and opinions. Others are unprotected, which would seem to make the laws unconstitutional on their face.
So, how do you change? take down the pictures of nude men? Put up photos of nude women? Have topless women waitresses?
So...gays are cheap dates?
I think Archer is funny. Raunchy, and juvenile, but funny.
I loved the episode when he thought he was the Bandit as in Smokey and the Bandit.
