Well, this sucks. From Tonic Lounge's Facebook account:
Well folks, time for a sad announcement.....
Tonic Lounge will be closing permanently after August this year. A year ago the building was sold to new owners, who have decided not to renew our lease, and if successful, will eventually turn the property into a nursing home.
We are very proud of what we've accomplished with Tonic. We are proud to say that we provided a safe and fun home for musicians, performers and weirdos of all stripes. It's been so fun to have our calendar filled with extreme metal, queer dance parties, goth bands and djs, drag queens, punk rock, karaoke, burlesque and much more. We are proud to say that we took an amazing building that had unfortunately went through several not so well received name and ownership changes in a very short time, and gave it new life, with its rightful name: Tonic Lounge. We are unable to express our gratitude to all that were a part of these past two years.... the bands, promoters, djs, attendees, and absolutely our amazing staff who were able to handle anything that was thrown at them with ease and grace. Tonic feels like we did something special, and "we" means all of us. Thank you Portland.
PS: Wait until you see all the awesome events we have lined up for our last four months!!! We ain't dead yet!
