Local News in Brief : Club Loses Liquor, Dancing Permits
The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday stripped a well-known San Fernando Valley rock music club of permits to hold dances and serve alcohol.
The council voted 10 to 0 to revoke the permits of the Country Club in Reseda on the recommendation of Councilwoman Joy Picus, who said she received complaints from nearby residents of drug use, fighting, lewd conduct and “other unacceptable behavior” by patrons of the 982-seat club.
“The Country Club has proved that it doesn’t know how to be a good neighbor,” Picus, who represents the area, told colleagues.
The owners say they will keep it open anyway. “We’ll just operate without a liquor license and do the best we can,” said David Pick, noting that the club’s next event will take place Thursday under the new rules.
