Through some highly skilled investigative reporting (I walked across the street and pulled on the door), Dallas Voice has managed to confirm that Crews Inn is in fact CLOSED today. Rumors are swirling as to why the decades-old gay bar near Voice offices on Fitzhugh Avenue has shut down (tax problems? the first victim of the smoking ban?). But all we know right now is that it ain’t open, which has thrown a major wrench into the Happy Hour routine of certain Voice staffers. We’re in production today, but I did leave a message for Crews Inn co-owner David Moore this morning. Moore hasn’t called me back, and I don’t really expect him to, either, because he was none too happy about our reporting on the Crews Inn trans ban last year. So if anyone knows anything about this closure — and especially if you’re that one hot stripper — please give me a call.
I think it is also because they banned a certain kind of cigarette to, and we know what kind that was…. OMG!
Anyone want to open up a new club there? A real dance club?
TABC site shows license suspended (that doesn’t really mean they did anything wrong…it could have been voluntary).
John,
Could you have ” that one hot stripper” call me as well! I have questions. hehe. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the story!
I would love to turn it into a danceclub.
Wow. I was looking forward to the strip bars without all the smoke. Darn.
I do like the Tin Room however. Wonder if that’s still open.
Tin Room is alive and well, along with its $1-bill dispensing ATM. When will Zippers wake up and realize that all stripper bars need a $1-bill ATM???
