Our sincerest apologies to Slowdance, Steel Phantoms, Papertwin, & all who attended for tonight’s premature conclusion. Alas, this show will be rescheduled for the near future. Stay tuned & thanks for your patience. Love, UP. -[Union Pool]

Williamsburg bar and music venue Union Pool was shut down in the middle of last night’s show by the Department of Health for a reported lapse in permits. The venue did not have comment, but the DOH did to Gothamist:

Union Pool was closed for operating under an expired permit since September 30, 2011. Three months prior to that they were sent a permit renewal notice. They were issued violations for not renewing their permit on October 14th, 2011. On a follow-up permit survey inspection they were closed for having still not submitted a permit renewal application. They may re-open as soon as they provide a receipt for a renewal application from the Department of Consumer Affairs.

Union Pool WILL be open tonight (12/2).
