Popular queer community and event group The Warehouse by Eastside Studios revealed a brand new Vancouver venue called The Birdcage.

Just over a month after saying goodbye, this popular queer community is back to keep the party going. 

The Warehouse at Eastside Studios is a queer-run event group known for its late-night drag and parties which have taken place at the 550 Malkin Avenue location for the past five years. 

On February 24 the group threw its final party at the Strathcona event space without knowing when or where the next one might be. 

This week, on April 4, the group revealed its brand new home. 

"The gay gods giveth and the gay gods taketh away... but this time, baby she giveth!" writes the group. 

The new venue, called The Birdcage, is nestled in Mount Pleasant at 44 West 4th Avenue, and the first party is taking place on April 21. 

"Our first event is not only a kick-off and welcome to our brand new baby, but also a fundraiser to help us make this space damn near perfect," writes the group in the Instagram announcement. 

The first event in the new space will help the group cover renovation costs and add a lounge area, washrooms, water station, smoking patio, and art installations.

"Every sexy second-hand warehouse comes with a sky-high to do list with pretty juice price tags," shares the group. "We humbly ask for your support!"
