The time has come to say a final farewell to John Hitchcock, the current owner of Cubby Hole for almost 14 years. There is a party, Sunday, June 28th, at 6PM at the bar! Not only is this a farewell party, but a ROASTING as well. If you were any part of this bar's history, you know this will be an AWESOME event to attend, going back to the early days, and making fun of it all.
As if you were living under a rock lately, John and his partner Jay sold the bar, and the new owners will be taking over on Monday. And a small personal note: I cannot thank John enough for all the support he, and the Cubby Hole, have given us over the years. WAY BACK on April 8th, 2000, I started an experiment called "Rainbowlife.com", with a vision of what GayFLL.COM is today. John was the first one in the community to see my vision and support it back then, and has continued all these years to be a part of us and helped us grow, experiment, and succeed. Happy retirement John, I wish you nothing but the best! |

Generally, we here at GayFLL.COM don't write entertainment stories such as this, but this does effect our community. Back when Sordid Lives- The Series was playing on LOGO last year, every gay bar in town had special nights just for the show. I went religiously to watch, drink, and hang with new friends! I LOVED Sordid Lives night at my favorite club. But now, LOGO refuses to renew the series. But now, there is HOPE!
The cast and crew of Sordid Lives- The Series have started a MAJOR grass-roots effort into saving the show. And we're not just talking one or two stars and a camera man, EVERYONE is involved. It's obvious they know that a good show has been cancelled, and they are pulling together to keep this incredible comedy on TV! |

We just want to set the record straight, direct from the source! As you may have heard, the Cubby Hole has been sold, and it's also been reported in a local rag. And yet, we are hearing the wildest rumors, including "they're tearing it down". Here is a direct letter from the current owners, John Hitchcock and Jay Jones:
It is with very mixed feelings that I make the following announcement. After 14 years of owning and managing The Cubby Hole, its time for a change. That being said, The Cubby Hole has been sold, the new owners will take possession after the closing which is set to take place sometime around June 30th.
According to the new owners to be, they plan on continuing the business exactly as it has been run including the current staff and specials. John will be staying on for several weeks to help the transition to the new owners
After over 30 years of bar ownership and 40 in the biz its time to slow down a bit. This past winter a fight with cancer made me realize it was time to enjoy life a bit more. ( For those who did not know that, I beat the cancer)
I made this announcement as early as possible for my employees benefit and so that Fort Lauderdale's rumor mill will have the correct, not distorted information.
I wish to thank all of the people throughout the years that have made The Cubby Hole the Successful neighborhood bar it is and hope we will continue to have your loyal patronage. The new owners are very nice and are eager to be welcomed to our community. They are by the way from Las Vegas, NV and have previously owned several gay clubs out there including a Bear Bar. |
So there ya have it, the Cubby Hole is NOT going anywhere! I have met the new owner, been in their previous bar in Vegas numerous times, and they are VERY COOL! Everything is going to be the same. |
