Greenpoint's Studio B has allegedly been shut down; good news for some neighbors, bad news for some patrons. The Brooklyn Paper writes of its demise, saying it has "now been shut down by the Department of Buildings — but club lawyer Ken Fisher says the club has fixed whatever led to the failed inspection." No specifics have leaked, but the DoB shut the club down on July 31st, following the CB1 meeting that ended in a vote against the club's cabaret license. One local told the paper, “It’s gratifying to know we won’t have any problems for a while. But it’s not as if I’m wishing the club disappeared off the face of the earth forever. I look forward to see what’s going to happen next.” Probably not a popular opinion amongst most residents, who have been trying to shut the club down since it opened its doors in 2006. Meanwhile, Fisher says he's awaiting the DoB to re-inspect the establishment.

From what I've heard. This sounds like it is for the best. I'm no fan of the Cabaret Laws, but Studio B was breaking a lot more laws than that and flaunting it. So, good riddance.
More young people should seek to join their local community boards. The old foggies who make up most of the boards will stop at nothing to suck the fun out of everything.
fogies* old farts also some to mind.
come* wtf i need coffee
Well, one of their loudest critics is in her thirties, doesn't mind bars and could drink either of us under the table. So maybe people who don't live in the neighborhood should just STFU.
this place broke the law and basically laughed in the face of the community while they did it. f them. i hope they stay shut.
I have some friends in their mid 20s who share a backyard fence with Studio B, party there once in a while.
They were able to tolerate the noise before the roofdeck opened, the past two months have been a nightmare.
They did book some great shows, but the conditions endured to attend their events were close to unbearable. I really don't think they're in the position to charge $4 for a tiny cup of seltzer water (because you don't always feel like drinking alcohol) with a scowl.
After the garden opened you could hear everything 2-3 blocks away at 2am. I don't mind a degree of noise and love going out at night, but that was unacceptable. You have to respect the old folks and make sure there's a balance in the neighborhood.
I think some Simpsons quotes sums this up nicely
From Episode: Homerpalooza
Flashback scene of Grandpa, Barney, and Homer in the '70s
Abe: What the hell are you two doing?
Barney: It's called rocking out.
Homer: You wouldn't understand, Dad. You're not "with it."
Abe: I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you!
fuck studio B. i've dealt with them a number of times as an event organizer and a performer, and they've ranged from unhelpful and unfriendly to malicious and shady as hell. like cancelling an benefit event a week beforehand, after setting it up months before, because they decided they could probably sell more liquor that way. giant assholes. good riddance.
