The owners of this club gave $10,000.00 to Nate Holden, who in turn approved a liquor license for them despite community petitions filed against them.
Since opening, crime has risen sharply in the neighborhood. Robbers and muggers wait until after the 2AM closing and move in for the drunks, whom they rob at gunpoint.
I attempted to enter and was told "Not open to public, " although it's license calls it a "Supper Club." Nate Holden said he would have no problem going there with his grandchildren. This was reported in the L.A. Times. The "club" opens at 9PM and requires a minimum purchase of Johnny Walker Blue Scotch at $200.00 a bottle. Before entry, you must provide doorman with the name of the waiter who recommended you.
Our neighborhood had settled and crime was at its lowest in the 13 years I've been here. Now I am awakened by sirens, gunshots, and helicopters from 1:45 to 4 AM, the police searching for perpetrators.
Club violates civil rights and lied on it ABC liquor license. Nate Holden had nothing to lose. He rubber stamped the liquor license. Our district, in Nate's waning days, approved 93% of liquor license applications. The city wide average is 60%.
