Brisbane's Laruche is set to close its doors for the last time at the end of February.
In keeping with the venue's lo-fi vibe, management announced 'time' on social media today sans fanfare or farewell message.
Laruche – la ruche is French for the hive - opened in March 2012 at 680 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley (Bakery Lane, opposite The Beat) as envisioned by owner Elie Moubarak (West End's Lychee Lounge). The rooms changed hands to new owner Geoffrey Slater in August 2019 just months prior to the devastation of COVID on the hospitality industry in Australia.
The 'Last Dance' is Sunday 26th February.
