WELCOME TO RUMOURS
Our rainbow oasis, where the spotlight shines bright and love knows no bounds! Tucked away in the heart of the Halifax, Rumours isn't just a venue—it's a sanctuary where everyone is celebrated, cherished, and embraced for exactly who they are.
So, whether you're flying solo, strutting with your squad, or dancing with your chosen family, know that you're always welcome here.
At Rumours, the only requirement is to be true to yourself and spread love like glitter on the dance floor.
OWNERS GERALD + JOSE
After a journey from military service to hospitality management, including bartending at a gay bar, Gerald McCowan is determined to create a haven for the queer community in Halifax. His experiences, including facing harassment for his sexuality, have fuelled his mission to establish Rumours, a fully inclusive yet distinctly 2SLGBTQIA+ space.
With his husband José Chiu by his side, they aim to make Rumours a symbol of safety, nostalgia, and community, welcoming everyone with open arms.
