Yet another beloved gay establishment is closing next month. The local leather favorite – The Barracks in Cathedral City – posted the news on their social media:
To All Friends, Family and Patrons of The Barracks Bar, Cathedral City:
It is with profound sadness that we announce that The Barracks Bar that has existed as a staple of the Cathedral City LGBTQ+ Community for the past 31 years will officially close its doors for the last time at the close of business Sunday, August 4, 2024.
The state of California is revoking our license to serve alcohol as of August 5, 2024.
We want to thank all of you—the LGBTQ+ Community—for all of your support, love, connections and friendship over these past 31 years. It has been our deepest honor and privilege to serve you. The management and staff of The Barracks love this community and are so grateful for your patronage.
Please come and help us celebrate our last days in California and launch us into the world as we prepare for our continued life in our new home in Phoenix and beyond!
