An iconic Vancouver nightclub is still recovering from extensive damage the venue suffered in March, shown in a recently posted TikTok.
The club shared the destruction in a viral video captioned, âIf youâre wondering why we closedâŚâ

Footage shows toilets in the area where people would usually dance, since they had to be pulled out of the bathroom. The video also showed tarps, wood, and metal construction materials scattered across the space.
The Granville Street joint has been providing live music, drinks, and snacks to the cityâs nightlife community for years. But that all stopped when the Roxy sustained external structural damage to the building caused by neighbouring construction on March 24.
A wall had to be repaired, and their bathrooms are still being restored.
The venue announced its temporary closure on Instagram that same day.
