The spot has not confirmed why they have closed.Over the last two years amid the ongoing global pandemic gay bars and clubs have closed across the nation largely due to lockdown.
The lockdown in Atlanta was less stringent and much shorter than many other U.S. cities. Increasing rents have also caused the shuttering of other venues.
The Atlanta Eagle closed its doors in 2020. Last month, the owners said they are still looking to find a new home. Swinging Richards was a fully nude gay male strip club that was open to all but catered to gay men.
In 2018, the parent company of the spot was sued and ordered to pay former dancers $800,000 — this was because the business had dancers working for tips only while paying various fees to the club.
