Two northeast Queens lawmakers joined several Auburndale residents outside of Kloud Tequila Grill on Saturday, Nov. 20, to announce that the New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) has temporarily suspended the establishment’s liquor license, prohibiting the sale and consumption of alcohol on the premises. 

While community members feel the license suspension is an important step in the right direction, Senator John Liu and Assemblyman Edward Braunstein are calling on the SLA to permanently revoke Kloud Tequila Grill’s license in order to protect the welfare of the community.

The issues involving Kloud Tequila Grill, also known as Silk Hookah Lounge LLC at 192-08 Northern Blvd., extend well beyond unneighborly behavior, Braunstein said. 

“For months, the local community has been raising concerns that the ownership and patrons of this establishment were engaged in activity that severely compromised public health and safety,” Braunstein said. “While the SLA’s ruling to suspend Kloud’s liquor license is a good first start, more needs to be done. I continue to urge the SLA to do the right thing by the Auburndale community and permanently revoke Kloud’s license. Enough is enough.”

Residents and small business owners have reported a host of disturbing issues, including the sale of alcohol to intoxicated patrons, public urination, drag racing, public sex acts, loud music and littering.

Two northeast Queens lawmakers who voted for the Bail Reform Bills that will destroy our public saftey ! The criminals are not scared to break the law. I love how Lefturd's crazy arguments are that people should just "take a beating" rather than defending themselves.

I certainly hope Republican politicians don't say anything about this crime, it might make Chuck Todd mad at them.

The only thing young people with illegal guns, killing and wounding one another, will understand, is jail time.

Bars should be closed by 2:00am. Why is closing time 4:00 ?

PLEASE, the police have been able to do their jobs in the past and still quality of life laws are rarely enforced. And what about all the illegal truck parking all over Queens.

Stop gaslighting. The political hacks do not allow the police to do their job properly.
You are right about the truck parking, but there also someone is on the take.
Grandma gets a 65 buck ticket on Queens Blvd while 18 wheelers are just fine in residential hoods.
