Edmonton to have 2 LGBTQ bars this summer as Evolution Wonderlounge begins move

For the first time in nearly a decade, Edmonton will have two male lover bars this summer.

Evolution Wonderlounge will open a brand-new location on Jasper Way and Street, as its downtown location on Lane near Avenue winds down operations.

&#;It forced us to start looking around so we found this cosmos, so we&#;re like, let&#;s just do both at once until the lease runs out,&#; Evolution Wonderlounge co-owner Rob Browatzke told Global News.

The new exclude will take over the Reign Premium Lounge & Kitchen, which has been sitting vacant since January.

Browatzke said he got the call from the landlord that the space was available. The new room will be renamed &#;Evo&#; and it comes with new opportunities.

The Wîhkwêntôwin location will offer two floors for dining and events.
