PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — It’s the end of an era for Philadelphia’s first queer women’s sports bar.
Marsha’s, located on South Street in the city’s Queen Village neighborhood, is closing its doors for good.
The owners announced the decision on social media Thursday, saying this weekend will be the bar’s last and thanking customers and supporters for helping make the business a success.
“We have loved serving this community, and still believe that more than ever this city needs more women/queer/BIPOC- owned businesses. We sincerely hope that someone is able to step up and fill this void,” the business said in the post.
Marsha’s made history when it opened last summer and put women’s sports on the big screen.
No reason for the closure was immediately provided.
