NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The East Village’s iconic Pyramid Club is shuttering its doors after 41 years, and due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it will not reopen.

Major stars like Andy Warhol, Madonna, Keith Haring, RuPaul frequented the venue, who also hosted concerts for punk-rock acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana since the 1980s.https://products.gobankingrates.com/r/8419832115a196968580e15ce19723e6

The club’s managers Maria Narciso and Quirino Perez made the announcement on Instagram on Thursday.

“It is with the most sad and heavy heart that we must announce to our local and worldwide community and family that The Pyramid Club NYC will not reopen. We are another sad consequence of Covid-19,” the post said. “The very last night we opened our doors was March 7, 2020. We’ve patiently waited for over a year, and we never thought that we’d permanently close. Our hearts go to YOU, our community, who’ve kept us going over these past 41 years, as well as other nightclubs, live music venues, and theaters, businesses that, like us, have suffered the most from this “Pause” and are facing our very same predicament.”

Managers planned to reopen with a food menu and socially-distanced dance floor but “with no relief in the near future, or clear requirements/restrictions for reopening, not to mention the loss of being shuttered over a year, The Pyramid Club owners decided to close,” Narcisco added.

Arts and entertainment venues in NYC began to reopen at a 33 percent capacity on Friday, with an indoor max of 100-150 attendees.
