A long term code violation at the club resulted in Santa Barbara City Code Enforcement closing the upstairs in 2015 until an appoved fire escape is installed. Code Enforcement stated that the rope ladder, utilized by the club as a fire escape, did not satisfy code requirements. After a token closure, the club resumed regular use of the upstairs in defiance of the order. To date, no effort has been made by the club to comply with the closure order. There are numerous other code vioations, including the lack of a proper fire exit downstairs for wheel chair users.
Caution. May be hazardous to your health.
