After a "use it or lose it" warning six months ago, Moncton has lost its gay bar, ARIS. They write:
An era is coming to an end
After two years, we’ve decided it’s time for ARIS to close its doors. Our final day will be August 29th.
We want to sincerely thank our patrons for showing up, supporting us, celebrating with us, and making these two years what they were. We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who chose to spend their nights with us, and for our great staff who were there along the way.
After the end of this chapter, we’re looking forward to new adventures, new projects, and whatever comes next.
Until then, we hope you’ll join us for a few more nights.
Thank you for two years
