Bad chemistry outside lounge

Man shot, two hurt in wild melee outside Queens club Chemistry Lounge

A wild melee near a Queens lounge early Friday left one man shot, two slashed and a fourth in custody, police said.

Police said the shooting victim was a 38-year-old bouncer who tried to break up a fight outside Chemistry Lounge, a nightclub on Liberty Ave. in South Ozone Park.

Investigators said the gunman may have fired from a car and hit the bouncer by accident.

Manager Mike Singh said the victim did not work for the club and claimed the fight started in a nearby CVS parking lot and sent bystanders running to the club for safety.

Cops made one arrest - Alberto Cabrera, 18 - who was nabbed at a nearby train station after the 1:50 a.m. incident. None of the injuries was life-threatening.


Shame. It looks like such a high class place, too. Click through the club's photo gallery. I promise, it will be the best comedy experience of your week.

This joint's web site says it accomodates 700+ and is great for dancing. Does it have a permit for that many or a cabaret license? Bet not.

All those neighborhoods that were once on the border of being bad neighborhoods are starting to turn bad.

Probably from the displacement of individuals because of gentrification/jobs/etc...

At least no aspiring baseball stars/drug dealer got shot by cops there on the night of his wedding.

I checked at the web site. I don't get it as all the youngsters are just that really young under 21. There are also pictures of girls very close - is this a lesbian scene, too? Then there was a skanky girl squating on the bar with odd cheap sex look. Go figure - it appears everyone is Spanglish, too. No diversity here!

Looks like a fine, upstanding establishment. Maybe we should organize a get-together of Queens Crap devotees. Hope we can get past the velvet rope.

Complain and make as much wise cracks as you want, but your kids, grandkids or nieces and nephews are going to places like this, even when you think there not.

Chemistry Lounge is the best place in Queens to have a good time. Unlike any other you can have a lot of fun. I felt like I was in heaven
