One of the (infamous) places that Heath frequented (even in his last week) was the Beatrice Inn, owned by Paul Sevigny, Chloë's brother--

Interesting! How in the world did you find that video?
I've always thought that the outside of Beatrice Inn looked awfully innocuous and unclubby, and the inside seems the same way. It's kind of quaint, even, with the fireplace and the wall sconces. I wonder if every once in awhile a nice middle-aged tourist couple wanders in there for dinner and exits quickly after seeing the clientele. :laugh:

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but it's a cash only place...

Re finding the video, well, long story. I'll tell you again later. Not mysterious, just semi-tedious--but I did meet Rory Guinness. Very polite chap!

Beatrice Inn’s Shuttering
Leaves Hipsters Temporarily Homeless
By: Daniel Maurer
4/6/09 at 6:50 PM
Nightlifers were in a tizzy today because the Beatrice Inn was shut down over the weekend. The Observer unearthed a Buildings Department report indicating the closing was due to overcrowding, and others revealing that the owners owe the city $23,000 in fines. Paul Sevigny won’t address rumors of busted celebrity noses and underage drinking, but tells Steve Lewis that a “free Bea” party is in the works. (We also hear Sevigny is D.J.-ing Lewis’s anniversary party at Greenhouse this week.) Of the regulars, Sevigny says, “the place was their living room and it’s basically like locking them out of their apartments.” Sniff. (We mean “sniff” in a sad way, not in the other way.)

Popular Beatrice Inn Too Populated
By Chris Shott
April 6, 2009 | 12:34 p.m
Downtown's ever popular Beatrice Inn was apparently too popular on Friday, April 3.
The city's Department of Buildings shuttered the subterranean celebrity hangout at 285 West 12th Street in the wee hours of the morning after counting 163 patrons inside the roughly 2,000-square-foot space, according to the agency's Web site.
That's 38 bodies over the legal capacity.
An inspector also noted an inadequate number of exits.
In addition to the overcrowded conditions, proprietors Matt Abramcyk and Paul Sevigny also owe some $23,000 in fines for various construction violations, city records show.
The venue has racked up four stop-work orders since October 2007.
Mr. Sevigny has told BlackBook columnist Steve Lewis to expect a “Free the Beatrice” party this coming Thursday or Friday at an undisclosed location.
