We'd say this is surprising, but we wouldn't want to lie. LES bars Los Feliz and Mason Dixon, the latter known for its mechanical bull, were shut down by a court order last night, which accused the establishments of serving alcohol to minors. Mason Dixon is also accused of serving alcohol "after hours." One LES partier wrote on Twitter last night, "Mason Dixon on Essex street is being raided by the cops. I feel like I'm in college."
The Lo-Down reports that bar owners in the Seventh Precinct feel that the police are cracking down on "technicalities," and victimizing responsible bar owners. However, a spokesman for both establishments told us, "Neither Los Feliz nor Mason Dixon serve minors. Neither establishment even permits minors to enter. Both places should be back open next week."
