Grand Re-Opening Set For Club Pazza At Former Prime Time Highland

Renovations being done at the building in Highland, NY as they prepare for a grand opening event in February.

Prime Time in Highland was as one of the hottest clubs in the Hudson Valley back in the day. It was a gay bar, but everybody was welcomed, no matter what their sexual preference was. Prime Time was always busy on the weekends.

The two-story building was built in 1977. Prime Time was a dance bar in Highland, New York that was a popular spot for the LGBTQ+ community. Some say it was the only place to go for a good time in the area. Others say people would travel from miles away to visit Prime Time

After being closed for many years, the building saw new life in 2022 when  LOCOX Tapas Bar and Restaurant opened in July of that year at 3353 Route 9W in Highland. The venue only lasted about 2 years with the venue hosting a Last Party event in May of 2024.
