Atlantic City offering more LGBT entertainment

We were just there a couple weeks ago. Given the city’s anemic health, I’m not sure this will help, but it’s good to see. From Press of Atlantic City: When the Brass Rail closed in 2007, Atlantic City was without a gay and lesbian bar or night club. By the end of this summer, the city will have four clubs and bars that will cater to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community, including a rebirth of the Brass Rail. The Brass Rail’s owners say their club on Mount Vernon Avenue could be open by the end of the month or early August. And today, a new GLBT-friendly bar on Tennessee Avenue will have its soft opening, with a full opening to come within a few weeks. The bar, called Maloney’s Uptown Tavern, also is a rebirth of a club, this time of a sports bar that closed two years ago. The renaissance of gay and lesbian bars and clubs comes at a time when casino and tourism marketers are looking toward the GLBT community as a niche market and trying to make their properties more inclusive, said Larry Sieg, president of the Greater Atlantic City GLBT Alliance.]]>
