Tronix gay bar reno

Tronix opened 14 years ago on Kietzke Lane and Mill Street then closed in People still talk about the parties and relationships started there. At the time, Splash was prepared to take over the bar, but was delayed due to the new ownership's family loss, according to a letter to the city.

This month, Splash renewed its permit to move forward with reopening the bar and nightclub. Splash already created some Reno social media accounts and website. The owner operated Splash and Badlands locations in Sacramento for 20 years and is opening in Modesto and Fresno, California and Portland too.

Tronix, previously called Neutron and Visions, operated as a nightclub since and closed in in large part due to its lack of separation between under section and over section, according to interviews in Therenogaypage. The former owners also told Therenogaypage in that the LGBTQ community's ongoing acceptance and integration into straight spaces started to make gay bars obsolete.

New owner TJ Bruce said he's less worried about the changing demand for bars geared specifically toward gay customers and will keep the new venue 21 and over only. And that went on for 10 years.

Bruce said he tries to plan something for every night of the week at his bars and brings in local DJs, drag queen shows, karaoke, trivia nights and entertainers to keep customers coming back. Bruce said the themes and decor matter but pop music with a lot of throwbacks to appeal to different generations matters more.

Ultimately, he said it's important to make a bar where people want to hang out and interact instead of just meeting up through apps. Splash does not plan to change the building or site layout dramatically. Bruce said they've already done interior work on the old Tronix, changed out furniture and added video screens inside.

He plans to open it in spring, pending a permit from the city. Corrections made to Splash's current locations on the West coast. Mike Higdon Reno Gazette-Journal.
