After a remarkable 19-year run, Dragonfly nightclub at Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort has officially closed. The popular dance venue hosted its final event on March 1st following an announcement of its closure in February.
Located on the lower level of the casino, Dragonfly was known for its vibrant atmosphere and drew large crowds, especially on weekends. In a farewell message on Facebook, the club expressed gratitude to its patrons, stating, “From the dance floor to the DJ booth, from the VIP booths to the main stage, every night was a story, and you were the ones who made it special.”
Since the closure, the venue has remained empty with no signs indicating its status. However, INK Entertainment Group, the Toronto-based owner, has promised that a new concept will soon take over the space. Spokesperson Lisa Persaud shared, “While it’s bittersweet to say goodbye, we’re excited to announce that, in the coming months, we’ll be introducing a new concept that reflects the evolving hospitality and nightlife scene in the region.”
No specific timeline for the new establishment has been provided and Fallsview Casino has also stated that they have no further information at this time.
Dragonfly opened shortly after the casino in 2004 and quickly became a key player in the local nightlife scene. The club was particularly known for its strict dress code and lively atmosphere, attracting a young crowd eager to experience its offerings.
Throughout its history, Dragonfly hosted numerous notable performances including a pre-fame Lady Gaga in 2008 and local EDM sensation Deadmau5 in 2009 just as he was gaining international recognition.
In their closing message, the company thanked Dragonfly’s patrons, stating, “Your memories, energy, and loyalty will forever be a part of Dragonfly’s legacy, and we can’t wait to share this exciting new chapter with you.”
