The Egyptian Club, Portland's only lesbian bar, will close its doors for good October 9 due to financial difficulties, the Examiner reports.
Owner Kim Davis expressed her dismay, telling the newspaper Just Out, "I don't want to do this, I really don't. [Running this club is] the biggest thing I've ever done in my life and the coolest."
All scheduled events are set to go on until the day of closure.
Last year GayCities.com rated the club the nation's best lesbian bar.
The shutdown of the Egyptian, or E Room as it was commonly known, follows quickly in the wake of the closure announcement of New York City's Starlite Lounge.
