A popular nightclub in the Bristol City Centre has been temporarily revoked of their alcohol license for the second time in just 5 months after accusations have arisen about drug deals taking place on the premises.
A Bristol club by the name of Pure on the corner of Park Street has had their license to sell alcohol taken away from them for the time being after a number of sources have gone to the police, claiming that drug deals are frequently occurring inside and outside the club.
It would be bad news for the owners of the club if these accusations are proven to be true, as it has only been 5 months since the club last had their license revoked for selling alcohol to people that were underage. This would mean that it would be highly likely that the club would lose the rights to sell alcohol indefinitely, and consequently would have to shut down. The owners of Pure would also get a hefty fine, and maybe even see some jailtime.
This situation is very similar to the one that was seen at Gloucester's 'Carnage' event last year, where two youths were killed after taking drugs that they were sold on the night. Since then, nightclub security has been extremely tight on ages of customers, and even tighter on the kind of things that these customers are taking inside the clubs. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Pure, here in our very own Bristol, as according to most youths, it is "notorious for drug dealers and addicts", but "the owners don't even care because they're still getting paid". It has been heard that it is very easy for people under 18 to get their way into this club, with "some bouncers not even checking [our] fake ID".
The local police have been looking into the case since the first infringement occurred, but it has appeared that nothing has really come to light yet. So if you know anything in connection to these events, please call the police.
