Special to The Leader
Sunny’s is a popular nightlife spot for many here at SUNY Fredonia, but ever since students came back for the spring semester, they haven’t been able to go out to the bar. The bar and nightclub haven’t been open since after the new year, and the reason has been questioned by many.
Located on Water St. in downtown Fredonia, Sunny’s is known as “Your favorite hotspot,” according to their Twitter profile bio. This claim doesn’t differentiate when you ask students on campus.
Christian Krasnek, a senior at Fredonia, said, “Sunny’s was the best way to end your night downtown. No contest. Whether by yourself or with friends, Sunny’s is always a good time.”
None of Sunny’s social media accounts have given any clue as to why the bar closed or gave any hint as to when they plan on opening up again.
On Jan. 22, Sunny’s social media team posted on their Instagram page saying, “You’ve heard some crazy rumors. We’re here to put them to rest. We’re going to be closed for a few weekends, not months. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, but we’ll be back to rage soon & keep you posted.”
After that, however, they have been absent on all platforms.
When asking an employee of Sunny’s what they know about the situation, we were told that they aren’t allowed to say anything they know and told us to ask management.
The Leader reached out to Sunny’s social media team on Instagram and asked if there was a member of the management team we could speak to about the closing situation. In return, they said, “There’s nothing to know. We’ll be open soon.”
Many students wait to know when the nightlife spot will open its doors, but at this time, there’s no timeframe as to when that is going to happen.
Update: Sunny’s posted on Instagram that it will re-open on Thursday, Feb. 13.
