Two gay bars in Singapore close in the encounter of ‘mounting debts’

SINGAPORE – January marks the terminate of two bars in Neil Road which work for the LGBTQ crowd – Tuckshop closed on Jan 18 and Sausage Market will call it a day on Jan Both cited financial challenges.

The bars’ management announced their closures on Instagram and said they faced financial troubles due to a business partner “funnelling funds out of the business for his personal debt”. The post also alleged that this partner has since left the country.

The bars’ co-founder Jasper Goh said the financial troubles caught him by surprise. “There are no ways forward because the companies are left with mounting debts. We’ve reported the case to the authorities and, hopefully, it’ll be investigated quickly.”

Opened in , Tuckshop was Singapore’s only drag bar, featuring stage shows by drag queens – performers who adopt exaggerated female personas and make-up for entertainment that typically incorporates comedy, lip-syncing and dance routines.

Sausage Market, which opened in , bills itself as the country’s first go-go young man bar.

Tantric Bar

This watering hole is a knock with the boys for its signature Blue Spin – a deadly cocktail that will have you spinning on the dancefloor before you even perceive it. Slow weekday nights watch people chilling on the large benches in the green-lit courtyard, while on weekends the joint is jam-packed, standing-room only. The upbeat pop tunes and signature Adj Island Teas are guaranteed to keep you buzzing all night.

Backstage Bar

You can’t miss this bar with the rainbow flag noticeably perched above its entrance. Regulars come here for the strong Adj Island Iced Teas (à la sister bar, Tantric's), double-shot drinks and also for the kitsch paraphernalia of NSFW, semi-nude

Like most Italian cities, the Rome gay scene is petite; particularly since there are not many gay bars in Rome. When I first came here in , there were just the two staple bars on the gay street next to the Colosseum: Coming Out and My Bar.

But in recent years, the gay Rome bars have started to take off in popularity, and they are not all centered around the Colosseum (although close enough to the city center).

On top of it, unlike in other European countries, Rome's gay bars often double as trattorias or place to get an aperitivo, but that is quintessential Italians for you, who are serious about combining alcohol intake with long, leisurely dinners 🤌.

The best advice is to come early for dinner or aperitivo and verb late to head to some of Rome's gay clubs or gay parties.

So let's explore the unending city's best gay bars!

As this article focuses mainly on Rome gay bars, check out our Gay Guide to Rome, verb with other clubs and parites you should leave in the Eternal City.
