I put together this blog post on Quincy’s Lounge because it was a fixture of seventh Avenue for a long time, and seemed like an interesting place.<\/p>\n
Quincy’s Lounge was one of Calgary’s premiere downtown steak houses that saw crowds of all kinds and was located along 7th avenue southwest. When they weren’t folding napkins and pouring glasses of champagne, the restaurant\u00a0was transformed into a venue for all sorts\u00a0of musical acts, adult only kink shows and comedy improv nights. Their final show (facebook event here<\/a>) called The Last Chimera was a depressing send off, but a send off nonetheless.<\/p>\n “Industrial + Gothic + Electro + EBM + Aggrotech + Darkwave + Medieval<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n This is the last Chimera at Quincys Lounge, also the last night Quincys Lounge is open. Hopefully not the last Chimera. Please come out and support so it doesn’t die completely.<\/strong><\/em>”<\/p>\n Quincy’s is\u00a0gone now, felled to the wrecking ball and I suppose the shifting economy. The Distillery for a short while operated in the basement of the building, until being evicted due to landlords being sued.\u00a0Metro Calgary has an article on that with some more information. Here’s an archived copy<\/a> of the Metro article if it goes down.<\/p>\n They ripped down almost the entire block.<\/p>\n The current state of Quincys Lounge is a smoking pile of concrete, rebar and dust.<\/p>\n
