Palace, the famous thirty year old gay bar on Ocean Drive has announced a closing date at its original home before its planned relocation to an as-yet-unknown new space. That date is July 4th, when it will host a blowout 'last dance' with "special lights, sound, and production."
The Palace, a South Beach gay bar of legend, notoriety, debauchery, and giddy fun is closing its doors at its current Ocean Drive locale because its new landlord is renovating Palace's home of 20 years and wants the bar out. With an uncertain future ahead, the owners of Palace are currently looking for a new home.
On the completion of a two-year renovation (sorry, these pictures are about a month old. Sue me.) the Betsy South Beach is unveiling its new wing tonight at a New Years Eve party.
