Saint Vitus Bar, a prominent heavy metal music venue in Greenpoint, has permanently closed its physical location after facing city inspections and complaints about noise and safety.
The bar's co-owners shared a farewell on Instagram, stating '1120 Manhattan Ave. 2011-2024. Saint Vitus Bar to be continued...' highlighting its significance in the community.
The Department of Buildings stated that Saint Vitus was operating as an 'illegal eating and drinking establishment,' leading to a $25,000 fine and closure due to safety violations.
Despite attempts to update their applications and secure permits for legal operation, the owners failed to initiate necessary construction or formally request required assembly permits.
