Another weekend, another alleged illegal nightclub busted in the boroughs.
At least 164 maskless revelers partied in a crammed, illicit, makeshift underground bar in Rosedale, Queens, on Sunday morning, according to authorities.
New York City sheriffs busted the dangerously overcrowded speakeasy around 2:30 a.m. and charged a DJ and two unlicensed security guards who were among the organizers with violating COVID-19-related regulations, officials said.
A patron also was charged with possession of marijuana and a hatchet.
A $15,000 fine was levied against the illegal hot spot, which has an awning in front that only says, EVENT CENTER. The owners of the property at 145-12 243rd St. were not immediately known.
