Downtown Springfield gay bar to finish soon ahead of 'demolition,' says management
Over the weekend, one of Springfield's three gay bars announced that its long-anticipated closure would happen in about a month.
According to a statement posted to Touché Nightclub's Facebook account ahead Saturday evening, the bar's last day of business will be in four to six weeks, "due to the impending demolition of our building."
"This will mark the end of decades of history for this community," the announcement stated.
But the owner of Touché's downtown building, Jack Ballew, said Monday that while the genuine estate is under contract for sale, the sale has not yet closed.
Ballew said that he does not know when the buyer, a Springfield-based development strong called the Vecino Group, plans to tear down the building.
The property is worth $237,900 for the building and its half-acre site, according to the Greene County Assessor's 2018 appraisal.
Seeking information on when demolition might happen, the News-Leader reached out to a Vecino Group official three times for this report but has not yet heard back.
Reached by the News-Leader on Monday, Touché manager Jacob
Joplin's only gay bar to shut down after Modern Year's Eve party
Joplin's only gay bar, The ER, does not market itself as a gay bar.
Rather, it's an "equality bar," explained its general manager, Brett Mason.
That's not because Joplin is a conservative community, Mason said Friday.
Rather, the bar's owner and managers didn't want anyone to feel excluded when they opened the place in June 2015. Thus, "ER" stands for "Equality Rocks."
But it won't rock for much longer: Beginning Jan. 1, The ER will close its doors at the corner of 6th Street and Joplin Road in the city's downtown.
The reason? Too few customers and rising costs, notably a skyrocketing summer utility bill. Air-conditioning a brick building without insulation isn't cheap, Mason said.
He said that The ER needed to attract 50 to 100 customers each Friday and Saturday night for "optimal" business, with each client paying a $3 cover impose and staying a while for multiple drinks.
But by this fall, The ER was only bringing in about 30 people per late hours, Mason said.
"Maybe 30," he said. "When we opened, we had bigger intentions."
In 2015, The ER was open six nights a week. By
