Stonewall, the Lehigh Valley’s last gay club, under contract to be sold, putting future in doubt – The Morning Call

If it closes, the Stonewall would be the third Valley gay club to shut its doors for good in the last five years. Candida’s Bar in Allentown closed in 2017, and Bethlehem’s Diamonz Nightclub closed in 2016. Restaurants, bars and nightclubs also are at the tail end of one of the hardest business climates in history: a global pandemic that led to widespread government restrictions on social gathering, especially indoors. The Stonewall, for one, lost a good portion of its 2020, including a lengthy closure at the start of the pandemic, from March 14 to June 26.
