It is with a heavy heart that we announce due to the hard past year and continuing troubles caused by the pandemic, Raptor Room will be closing its doors for good. Our last day will be the 20th of June 2021.

It has been the great joy of my life to run this safe,queer and inclusive venue for the past 4 years. I have met the most wonderful and talented people who have brought me so much joy and sense of community.

Being Q***r is more than just a flag or a space, we are a community of individuals full of love,acceptance,uniqueness and bravery. We are unfaltering in our pursuit for happiness, visibility and acceptance, and I truly am so proud to have served you all for these past 4 years.

This was not an easy decision for me to make, and I wish things were different.

This business wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing staff who went above and beyond to provide amazing service, personality and care to all who entered our unique unicorn in The Mother City.

I urge everyone reading this that The Raptor Room has touched not to be saddened but to carry the values of the Raptor Room in their everyday life and allow this not to be an end but rather a beginning.

We here at The Raptor Room are truly thankful to you and you have brought us so much joy.

To all the late nights, the amazing artists, the fierce drag community, the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies. I dedicate these last 4 years to you.

Be kind, be yourself and love one another.

Sincerely & queerly

Amy Lilley & the whole Raptor Room team
