Bruce999 Posted June 12, 2022 Report Posted June 12, 2022 After 30 plus years Paddles will be closing as the landlord won’t Renew the lease. Quote
Hole4u Posted June 12, 2022 Report Posted June 12, 2022 Wow that sucks. I’ve never been but play at plenty of other venues around the city. This doesn’t bode well for them either unless they own the building Quote
Bimarried001 Posted June 12, 2022 Report Posted June 12, 2022 I’ve been there many times. Sorry to hear it’s closing. Quote
valleyvers Posted June 13, 2022 Report Posted June 13, 2022 Wonder if the landlord changed hands or something happened to cause them to not renew it Quote
skinster Posted June 13, 2022 Report Posted June 13, 2022 Ugh. This fucking Disneyland of a city. Quote

spunkdump Posted June 15, 2022 Report Posted June 15, 2022 Its a real end of era for my generation. It was one of the few places that held parties for Bears, People of color, Cum Union, leather all in one place -it wasn't perfect lord knows they were chintzy on papertowels but it had its brand. I don't know where or how these parties will succeed- i can only think of 2 places that might host but who knows. I'm glad i have the memories of the place. This is the last weekend i believe - i don't know if I'll make it but gonna try -one last hurrah. I remember when Lou Maletta threw his last party in Chelsea - that was a humdinger of a party -wow-I will never forget it . God bless whatever dark hole he is enjoying! RIP. 1 1 Quote
Traviscraymer Posted June 17, 2022 Report Posted June 17, 2022 That sucks big time. Loved the slings and playing there. Quote
YourNoLimitsBottom Posted June 18, 2022 Report Posted June 18, 2022 Damn, found out about Paddles during covid and was hoping it would reopen. I loved the pics on their site and wanted to see myself featured some day. Shame to hear that won't happen. Quote

Lou Maletta provided me with the space and opportunity for some awesome sex. Thank you Lou! I didn't know you but, oh, I appreciate you 1 Quote
