CHICOPEE - Maximum Capacity, a downtown bar and entertainment spot, has had its liquor and entertainment licenses suspended for allowing nude male dancing, according to Donald Goulette, chairman of the Chicopee License Commission.
Goulette said members of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission were eyewitnesses when the Men in Motion Dance Revue entertained a standing-room-only crowd on May 13 into early May 14 at the 116 School St. establishment.
Goulette said Maximum Capacity will be shut down for 10 days beginning July 24 and will be in abeyance for the next 10 days. If the club does something improper during the second 10-day period, it will be closed for 10 more days.
“We want the public to know that we take these violations very seriously and will act upon them,” said Goulette.
On its website, the Men in Motion Dance Revue describes itself as “male exotic entertainment” that does strip shows and “strip-o-grams.”
Their calendar lists Maximum Capacity performances in Chicopee every second Friday of the month.
The manager of Maximum Capacity is Donald Roberts, according to Goulette.
