""We are here to inform you Club Lambda will be closing its doors forever at the end of 2026," Club Lambda stated in an Instagram post. "The past 5 years have been nothing more than exciting as we have hosted some of the most iconic and memorable events New York has seen!""
""Join us for one final night as we close this chapter and celebrate all the memories we've created together," the Instagram posted stated. "We want to thank you all for your continued support - and a very special thank you to the DJs, hosts, and promoters who've collaborated with us to make every night unforgettable. Let's come together one last time for the final dance.""
""LGBTQ+ people of color do not have a location to go to," Hughes said at the time. "Finally, we have a place to call our own.""
Club Lambda will permanently close at the end of the month, and a final event is scheduled for Feb. 28. The venue opened in 2022 at 1031 Grand St. in Brooklyn and was one of two LGBTQ bars owned by Charles Hughes and Richard Solomon; their Lambda Lounge in Harlem at 2256 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. opened in 2021 and will remain open. Club Lambda hosted recurring nights such as "Sneaky Link Saturday" and a "Bad Decisions" party on Thursdays. The owners said they launched the bar after a DJ told them "men don't dance with men" and emphasized the venue as a safe space for LGBTQ+ people of color.
