Two of South Florida’s legacy drag venues are shutting their doors this weekend. AquaPlex in Oakland Park and Birdcage Cabaret in Key West are being closed by their parent company, Pride Holdings Group (PHG). The staff was told late Sunday afternoon and Greater Wilton Manors broke the story that evening.

Key West’s venerable drag entertainment venue, AquaPlex (APKW), is closed. According to management the business was evicted from its prime location on Duval St. in the heart of the island’s party district.
