A beloved LGBTQIA+ sports bar is shutting its doors for good after only being open for a little more than year. <\/p>\n

Marsha’s on South Street<\/a> took to social media to say that this upcoming weekend will be the bar’s last. <\/p>\n

“It is with heavy hearts that we have decided to close Marsha\u2019s doors for good. 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 bar wrote on Instagram. <\/p>\n

Marsha’s says that it will be open on Friday, Oct. 16, Saturday, Oct. 17 and Sunday, Oct. 18 for the “last hurrah.”<\/p>\n

The bar opened on Sept. 19, 2025<\/a>, and identified as a place where women, the LGBTQIA+ community and all sports fans could come together. <\/p>\n

Philadelphia native, Chivonn Anderson, opened the business as her personal mission to offer a sense of joy and community to others.<\/p>\n

Anderson told NBC10 last year that she’s been in the industry for 25 years and had never worked in an environment where there was a focus on women’s sports.<\/p>\n

The business was named after Marsha P. Johnson, one of the most prominent gay rights activists in American history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A beloved LGBTQIA+ sports bar is shutting its doors for good after only being open for a little…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307639,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70],"class_list":["post-307638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307638\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
