Was Maqruee Closed Again?
Our weekend by the pool was interrupted by multiple Little Birdy's reporting that Marquee was shut down once again over the weekend! Let's go directly to the reports:
LB #1: Rolled up at Marquee last night to find it deserted with only one bouncer and no line... Bouncer said they were closed for maintenance. Told use to go to Guest House?! Bouncer at Bungalow said they lost their liquor license.
LB #2: marquee is closed as of friday- something to do with the SLA trying to yank their liquor license. This is a result of those drug sales charges against marquee employees. This may be extremely serious; i heard from a few sources that this may be the end of marquee. in any event, last night the staff set up the front of the club and were telling patrons that they were closed for maitenance issues (this would be the 3rd time in a month that they were closed on a thurs fri and/or sat for such issues).
Indeed, it was just over one month ago that the SLA and NYPD taped Closed signs to the luxurious doors of Chelsea's most durable night club. The space raucously re-opened days later, but it may have only been temporary. We have requested comments from Marquee's reps, and hope that the rumors of its demise are entirely premature. DBTH has learned that they have booked several big events for fashion week, so it may not be time to call the grave digger just yet.
Stay tuned to DBTH for additional info.

I was at Marquee on Friday and it was definitely open. I passed by around 2 AM and again at around 3 AM on Saturday night only to find music bumping but no patrons, no lines, and barely any staff compared to the usual night outside Marquee.
Good riddance. The less money that reaches the grubby claws of Jason Strauss and Noah Tepperberg, the better.
i passed by and saw the same thing... wish i could have taken a pic
