A popular LGBT+ bar and nightclub announced its closure just days before Christmas.
Bonjour Bar on Glasgow's Saltmarket first opened in June 2021 as a co-operative with staff.
The venue was a favourite with the LGBT+ community, providing a safe space for underrepresented groups.
The nightclub revealed it was closed in an Instagram statement shared with its 12.1K followers on Tuesday.
A spokesperson for the venue wrote: "Thank you to all staff past and present, co-op members, performers, promoters, organisations, the Bonjour community, to all mommies and others who have generously donated and kept our spirit alive whether it be through financial means or emotional support.
"This venture has proven that when a community connects, we have the power to help sustain each other, amplify queer voices and support radical ideas."

They added: "This experience has been trial and error, we have learnt a lot though there was no framework for us to work under and very limited funding available, specifically for co-operative queer spaces.
"Despite all of this, the space we made became integral to many.
"We strongly encourage other promoters and venues to continue to platform entirely QTBIPOC line-ups, paying all performers and staff a fair wage, and having well-informed and considered safety policies.
"We can all continue to do better on behalf of the communities we serve."
Bonjour Bar representatives requested anyone with leads on jobs for its staff to directly message the account.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
