We are sad to announce that we will cease operations Saturday October 26 2024. This wil be our last Halloween party, come celebrate with us before we end operations.
The path to entrepreneurship is often unprecedented and very unpredictable; while we’ve had many gains in the past 3 years, we’ve also faced tough challenges that led us to where we are now. It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Sissy Bar Portland. Over the past 3 years, we have been privileged to serve and be a part of this incredible community. Your support, love, and loyalty have meant the world to us.
As an LGBTQ+ owned and operated business, our mission has always been to create a safe, inclusive, and a welcoming space for everyone. We are proud of the positive impact we have made and the connections we have built. Unfortunately, due to the devastating economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to close our doors.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has supported us throughout this journey. Your patronage and encouragement have been the backbone of our success. While this chapter is coming to an end, the spirit of Sissy Bar Portland will live on in the memories and experiences we have shared.
To the many entertainers, musicians and most importantly our STAFF, we are especially grateful. You all added so much personality to this place, and helped to make it special. High-level hospitality is some of the hardest work there is, and we were lucky to have many of the most talented workers right here. Thank you for everything you’ve done to make this place thrive.
Thank you ALL for being a part of our story. We hope to see the community continue to thrive and support other LGBTQ+ businesses and initiatives. We all know that small business are a vital component to the community and economy. So, let's all band together and keep supporting in any way we can!
With heartfelt thanks and appreciation,
-Sissy Bar Portland
