Glasgow queer, Yiddish, anarchist, vegan, pay-what-you-can cafe to close 'with heavy heart'

A queer, Yiddish, anarchist café in the south side which offered coffees and vegan food on a pay-what-you-can basis has announced it is to close in a heartfelt post on its website.

The Pink Peacock Cafe on Victoria Road in Govanhill opened in 2020 as a late-night dry (non-alcoholic) queer café and community space selling plant-based Jewish food.

However, in a post on their website, they revealed that were being forced to close in part due to "burnout" but also due to "right-wing backlash", "antisemitic vitriol" and harassment.
