For 75 years, along the 17th Street corridor that has long been a bastion of LGBTQ social and cultural life, Trio Bistro and Fox and Hounds Lounge have served customers. On Nov. 2, these two mainstays will close their doors.

Owner Mourad Menjelloun wrote that, “For decades, Trio has been more than just a restaurant; it has been a second home for so many of us, both for our guests and our dedicated staff. Our team is a family, and many have spent decades building the connections and community that made Trio so special.”

Although the owner was not gay, both businesses became a safe space for many LGBTQ locals, similar to Annie’s Paramount Steak House, also located on 17th Street. Many LGBTQ social and professional groups used Trio as a meeting place to plan activities and hold events.
