The nightclubs and bars of Washington Street were alive with music and packed with people this past weekend, save for one spot.
Club Silver, the one-story dance joint that specializes in hip-hop and Latin nights, was darker than a moonless night as it recently has been closed down.
According to a notice taped to its front door last week by the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department, the nightspot (also occasionally known as Silver Martini and Wine Bar) is unable to open for the foreseeable future due to unspecified issues. Reportedly, the venue hosted a party on New Year's Eve night a few days before the notice (which is dated January 3rd) was posted.
This isn't the first time that Club Silver has been shut down, as the establishment (which originally opened in 2007) closed temporarily in 2008 and again in 2010.
There are currently variety of rumors swirling around the downtown Phoenix club scene in regards to the club's most recent closure, none of which we've been able to confirm. Calls to both Club Silver's ownership and county officials have not been returned as of this writing.
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
