One of Boston's longest running LGBTQ nightlife institutions, which often featured gogo dancers and underwear parties, will be closing it's doors for good later this month. The building housing Paradise Cambridge, located at 180 Massachusetts Avenue, has been sold to Novartis Pharmaceuticals to accommodate the company's expansion plans.

Rumors of the club's closing have been swirling for weeks and principal owner, Paul McCarthy, has confirmed to Bay Windows that they are indeed true. The final two events at the club will be "The Last Dance - Paradise Closing Party" on September 15 and the final "Paradise Customer Appreciation Night" on September 16.
