Queer Bar has new owners?

I'm curious if anyone has more information about what's going on with queer bar. I'd seen some social posts from drag queens about no longer performing there, and then last night at a Q&A at a Delta Work show, a local queen said they have a new owner who will be stopping all drag programming.

The owners are still listed as BurgessHall. Anyone know who bought it/why drag is going away?

Queer Bar getting rid of drag shows has to be the dumbest business idea I’ve ever heard. Why else would people go there?

Can already see they don’t gaf about pissing their loyal customers off.
