“With a young son and a family, I had to make some decisions and move forward,” said owner Kristen Davis. “I unfortunately couldn’t put my life on hold for another two years. I had already put my life on hold for 10 months.”
It’s official: Easthampton’s Platinum Pony has taken its last ride. The business’ former owner Kristen Davis announced that the bar, which closed its 30 Cottage St. location last fall following a suspected electrical fire, would not reopen as planned.
The Platinum Pony had earned a following for its queer-friendly atmosphere and events before the fire on Oct. 5, 2015. According to Davis it wasn’t practical to reopen the business without a clear timeline as to when repairs would be completed.
