    Get rid of this listing

    The Quebec is no longer a gay venue. Greene King brewery, its owner, has decidedly changed the Quebec into a straight venue with constant loud music upstairs, closure of the basement disco, female bartenders, elimination of drag shows, removal of rainbow stickers or any gay identifiers, etc. Despite assurances of its owners that the refurbishment would not change the future of this historic gay pub, they have done just that: Anthony Hemmerdinger, managing director of Greene King Local Pubs, said: "We are very proud of the legacy that the City of Quebec holds, as are our customers. Therefore, we wish to ensure them that the pub has a long-term future. This pub has a heritage as one of London’s oldest gay pubs and we want to create a new look space inside that is welcoming and inclusive to all." Nice try Anthony. On top of all that, the service is horrible. I urge the removal of this establishment from GayCities.
