Club Cobra, the North Hollywood gay Latino nightclub, will re-open Friday in its same location, almost 15 months after it was forced to shutter its doors due to the pandemic. “At some point, we knew we would survive this and come back.
We didn’t think it would be 15 months,” Club Cobra owner Marty Sokol said in a recent interview. “What was the point of saying anything?
The city was closed,” he said. In May of 2020, Club Cobra had posted on their Instagram page that it would not re-open, another nightlife fatality thanks to COVID-19.
