Hipsteraunt Beatrice Inn, the West Village hotspot owned by Paul "Brother of Chlo " Sevigny, has divided opinions throughout our fair city: Some find it to be a pretentious little box full of nausea-inducing douchebags, while a couple of people like that you can smoke there. In any event, a tipster suggests that everything might not be on the up-and-up at the twatwaffle canteen:
Beatrice Inn doesn't have a liquor license.A quick check of Manhattan Community Board 2's website yields no reference to any appearance before the board this year. So, uh, hey BlackBook, have a Plan B for your Christmas party! If you know anything more about this situation, do tell.The license they applied for is listed as "inactive." You can see for yourself on the Liquor board's public database: The license they actually applied for is a restaurant license. That does not allow you to have bottle service and operate as an exclusive nightclub in a quaint residential area. Even if you're a Sevigny.
Beatrice Inn doesn't have a working kitchen. They bring in catering. Another no-no with a restaurant license.
They're under investigation. Tell BlackBook to have a Plan B for their Christmas party.
