"Guess last night wasn't the best night in Gotham's Clubland, eh? As the culmination of a nine-month NYPD narcotics investigation it seems the city closed seven Manhattan nightclubs, completely shutting down five of them.
Details are still coming in, but we know this much: The five clubs that were shut down completely were; Club Deep, View, Splash, Spirit and Avalon (aside, how many times can they shut the old Limelight down? Isn't this like the trillionth time they've done this?). Meanwhile Club Speed and Steel Gym "were issued "restraining orders," meaning they can stay open if they stop illegal activity."
And what shocking (SHOCKING!) illegal activities were going on that shuttered all of these clubs? Why, nothing but the old standards: police officers being propositioned for sex, illegal narcotics for sale and intoxicated minors buying booze.
Were any of you at any of the clubs when they were being closed? Put it in the comments. And who wants to put a bet down on how long till all of these places reopen with new names?" (Courtesy of gothamist.com) |

RAIDING COPS SHUT 7 CLUBS
By JOE McGURK
April 1, 2006 -- Seven trendy nightclubs were raided last night following a nine-month undercover drug probe, police said yesterday.
Police hit the clubs at 10 p.m., just as they were starting their Friday night parties.
Five Chelsea clubs were completely shut down:
* Club Deep, where undercover cops allegedly purchased marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy.
* View, where undercovers said they bought cocaine and ecstasy.
* Splash, where undercovers allegedly bought $2,700 worth of cocaine.
* Spirit, where cops said they witnessed assaults, including a stabbing; alcohol being served to minors, as well as drug use and sales.
* Avalon, where cops reported buying ecstasy.
One dazed and confused clubber at Avalon said musician Teddy Compton was in the middle of his opening act.
"Half way through the set, the volume just plummeted," said the woman, who asked that her name not be printed. "The NYPD just swarmed in. It was a hell of a lot of cops. The club was just shut down, nobody would tell us why."
Clubs Speed, on West 39th Street, and Steel Gym, on East 23rd Street, were issued "restraining orders," meaning they can stay open if they stop illegal activity.
At Speed, cops allegedly were offered sex for money, and spotted drug use.
In Steel Gym, undercovers reported buying the drug crystal meth.
"We visited most of these clubs in the past," said a police source. "It's not the first time we've seen this kind of activity." |
