Шаблон:Infobox venue

Crews & Tangos is a gay bar located at 508 Church Street in the gay village in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Established in 1994.[1], the bar is renowned for hosting nightly drag shows.[2][3]

Appearances in popular media

The first floor of the bar serves as the main location for the "Miss Church Street" pageant in the CBC Gem series QUEENS.[4]

Homicide investigation

Crews & Tangos was connected to the murder investigation of Tess Richey. The night of Richey's disappearance in 2017, Richey and a friend visited the bar and security footage from the venue was used to outline the sequence of events during the court proceedings.[5]

Gentrification concerns and heritage status

In March 2020, news began to spread about a proposal for a new condo development where Crews & Tangos is located.[6] Concerned community members created a Change.org petition garnering over 30,000 signatures.[7] Following the outcry, Kristyn Wong-Tam (city councillor for Toronto Centre) conducted a preliminary report of the space,[8] and in February 2022, the City of Toronto granted heritage status to the buildings located at 508 and 510 Church Street.[9]
