So there's a rumor floating around as of today that Karu & Y is temporarily shut down.

It's totally unsubstantiated, and we'll keep you posted as more news develops, but it also makes sense.I've heard from three people today alone that business there has been dead which must make keeping up the payments on the place difficult.

That aside, I heard from a source this morning that the club was forced to shut down yesterday because they were in violation of their license. So if you've got plans to hit the club this weekend, check back in with us first as we'll have another update on this before Friday.
