Overview

Closed April 2008 when the local community board finally managed to get its liquor license revoked.
It's loud. It's crowded. And on Thursday through Saturday there's a velvet rope scene to rival any club in the Meatpacking District, but it's Le Souk. And there's no where else in the city with quite the same sweaty, sexy, North African machismo, euro-dance vibe -- if that's your thing.
