Gay bar delaware

A beloved neighborhood gay bar in Wilmington was racking up bills while closed during the pandemic. The community has rallied around it.

The owner, Donald Bischoff, took the time to do some renovations, but was still stuck paying gay and utilities with no money coming in. So last month Hendrickson organized a GoFundMe and a fundraiser show to support the bar. Local drag queens Cherry St. Cartier and LaTonga Manchez helped organize the event.

Cartier donated their time. Bischoff wrote on Facebook late last month the donations will cover taxes and the next four to five months of bills. When we first closed down I had no idea that the Covid bar would last so long without any clear answers or an end in sight. With your support in other ways we can have hope that in the near future we can all resume a somewhat normal life.

John Carney allowed beach bars to reopen with restrictions Labor Day weekend. Bars are currently allowed to be open at 60 percent capacity. Dancefloors are not allowed. The Wilmington retro arcade bar closed for good this summer after being shuttered for several months because of the pandemic.
