Pink

Pink was a short-lived bar in an inconvenient location on Rideau in the early 2000s. Its challenge as a queer space was that it was very large and always felt empty even if there were a fair amount of people there.

It was divided into several large rooms with frankly tacky décor (including a male torso disco ball) but there were some go-go cages that you could dance in if you felt like being an exhibitionist by showing off your dancing moves.
