Hi everyone,

As the sole owners of our small, female-owned bar, we poured our hearts, savings, and energy into building Pink Metal into a vibrant, community-centered space. Watching it grow into a safe, inclusive haven—especially for the queer community—has been one of the most meaningful experiences of our lives. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to keep up with operating expenses and have made the heartbreaking decision to close.

This is Deena and Rose from Pink Metal. As the sole owners of our small, female-owned business, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a vibrant, community-centered space. It’s been incredible watching it grow into a safe, inclusive haven, especially for the queer community.

Unfortunately, we are no longer able to keep up with operating expenses and have made the heartbreaking decision to close.

When we close next month, we will be left with significant debt. We currently owe $28,700 in back rent, which will increase to approximately $31,370 by the time we shut our doors. We are also behind on staff pay, taxes, and several other outstanding bills. Once the business closes, this debt will become personal.

Pink Metal has meant the world to us, and it’s more than just a business—it’s a little pink paradise and a home for so many. Saying goodbye has been incredibly difficult.

If you’re able to help, any contribution, no matter the size, would mean the world to us and help ease this transition. We’re deeply grateful for every bit of support.

Thank you for the love and support over the past few years

- Deena & Rose
