GREENFIELD - The Last Ditch, a lesbian bar in the small city of Greenfield, Massachusetts, plans to soft close as it seeks new ownership, according to a report by Lucy Campbell for The Guardian. The bar announced the plan on Monday in an Instagram post, and the report said the bar was searching for co-owners.
The Guardian reported that the bar went viral last month for loosening its Covid mask policy, a change that followed its attempt to relax Covid rules and drew wide attention. The report's summary does not describe the policy change in further detail, and this story does not add to that account.
The Guardian's headline described the bar's search for new owners as a frantic effort, a characterization this story does not adopt. The Guardian's summary says the bar's Instagram post sought co-owners and that the soft close was announced while the search continues.
The sources available for this story do not state how long the soft close will last, who may take over the bar, or whether any potential owners have been identified. The Guardian's summary does not address those points, and this report does not speculate on them.
