Dear C.FRENZ customers:
After almost 50 years of serving our LGBTQ+ community, it is with a heavy heart that I am writing to inform you that C.FRENZ will be permanently closing its operations on January 1, 2026.
I worked as an attorney with the Gay community during the AIDS crisis of the 1980’s and 1990’s and managed my bars and nightclubs from 1994 till today. Working with this community and serving you as customers has been an absolute pleasure, and I want to express my deepest gratitude for your loyalty and support over the years.
It is time for me to turn the reins over to our younger brothers and sisters. I am hoping that we can reopen this space in the near future as an LGBTQ bar/nightclub and safe haven for our community. I will continue to work on this.
My wish for the future is that you always keep up the fight for the rights for everyone in our community and help and welcome all with open arms. I thank you all for being a valuable part of my life story. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
And remember, to party hard and responsibly!
Sincerely,
Stephen
