Old Brooklyn '2001 Odyssey' disco owned by LCN?

'2001 Odyssey' was a disco in Bay Ridge. It's where they filmed the dance sequences in the movie Saturday Night Fever. It's now a Chinese restaurant, but it re-opened for one night (as a disco) in 2017 to mark the 40th anniversary of the movie's release. Does anyone know if this place was Mafia owned and operated?

Not till it became a gay club, and Genovese soldier Sally Dogs became a silent partner. While it was the 2001 Odyssey club, Sally Dogs, Bonanno and Colombo members taxed the drug dealers who passed coke in the place. The original owners were not involved, and decided to sell the club due to the many shady characters that were showing up. The police would hardly do any thing. Guys would get cuffed and the next week they were back at the club, so father and son decided to sell it.

Thanks for the info, Giacomo. Do you have a street address for that place?

8763 Wonderland Ave. lol..just kiddin' pal...noticed your quote @ the bottom...liked.

I had an old picture of my brother and his friend standing at the front door, they were bouncers there.

I wil look for it, the y were wearing bell bottoms and platform shoes.

LoL

La'mours was also mob run

Funny the gay club down the street (way up here worcester ma) from me which been there im guessing earlys 70tys was run by some genovese dude its still there but hes dead awhile. Wouldnt doubt its still in his family They really had the gay bar disco racket on lock forever. My aunt uses to go to this one and says the partys where the best i picture something out that hbo show the duece.

Well, gays have a lot of expendable income and they like to party. Their whole scene is driven by the insatiable male sex drive, so things are never ending. Also, blackmail can possibly be used against VIPs and public figures in the spotlight (judges, politicians, married men, etc) who want to keep their queer-ness under wraps.

Gay people are alright with me. Some pretty good looking gay guys have came on to me in the past. Probably because I'm well groomed and spend hours doing my hair. If these guys were chicks they would be nine out of tens. How can that be a bad thing?

I'm like the guy at the end of this scene when a gay dude comes on to me.

What was the one on 86th St. that was upstairs, I think that was the place Sammy took over or Pitera.

I think Romeo & Juliets

All the Disco Clubs were Mobbed run..Funny story..I was at Romeo & Juliet's 1 night sitting at the bar and offered to buy a Girl a drink. She turned around and said.."How about me buying you 1"..Then I found out Her Father was a owner there..I Passed...LOL

A lot of famous hard rock bands played that place.

Typo negative, biohazrd, hatebreed...

I got beat up during a hatebreed set at lamours lol

Peter Steele would've been a good mob henchman.

I remember watching a special on SNF and one of the producers or whoever it was said that when they started filming there, there was a small fire and then the next day someone went in and shook them down so there wouldn't be a bigger fire next time, and they paid !!

The deuce on hbo is top 3 tv shows on tv rite now. Grew on me. Basically on season finale set up the gay club seen being backed by the mob guys on the show season3

And method man shooting out wit a cop was comedy
