Now, The Q is officially welcoming guests after marking its grand opening with a series of sold-out events that closed out Pride Month. With Fluet’s construction and design experience-and help from celebrity investors like Billy Porter, Zachary Quinto, Charlie Carver, and Jake Shears, who represent various pillars of queer entertainment-the space came together without a hitch. The flyer for the sex party states entry as 25 for tops and 65 for bottoms.
Sharp, an award-winning event producer, nightlife curator, and DJ, had to put his new business venture on hold when COVID-19 forced New York into lockdown, but over the past several months, he and his business partners- Boxers co-owner Bob Fluet and party promoter Alan Picus-made up for lost time and pieced together The Q, a game-changing queer venue that caters to every interest. When we last spoke to Frankie Sharp in early 2020 to get his expert input on a guide to queer NYC, he let us in on a little secret: He was preparing to open a multi-floor LGBTQ nightclub in Hell’s Kitchen that would redefine the genre as we know it.
