What a Cloister f - - k!
The East Village’s Cloister Cafe has been denied a temporary restraining order that would have reinstated its liquor license after it was suspended by the State Liquor Authority for allegedly committing a number of COVID-19 violations.
Applying for the order, the bar, run by Nick Drobenko and Provocateur’s Mike Satsky and Brian Gefter, argued that, “Our business will not survive another closure.” But the judge said they’d “provided little hard information” to support that.
“I do not doubt that the statement is made in good faith and may prove accurate,” Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote Thursday. “But the plaintiff’s owners apparently own the building in which the restaurant is located and thus may be far better able to survive than many other restaurateurs.”
Judge Kaplan ordered it to submit papers by Wednesday, with arguments to be held later in the week. Cloister Cafe has been accused of holding “illegal pandemic parties” with “over 80 people inside, mingling, kissing, drinking.” The venue has accused the SLA of failing to properly investigate, and cribbing its “evidence” from media reports.
