Nana Funk's Nightclub Faces Revocation Hearing

0:00It's April 30th. This is Birmingham News Today, AI-powered stories from your city. I'm Corey with the story. A Lakeview nightclub called Nana Funks in Birmingham is under fire after a shooting inside, left one person seriously hurt and another graced by A. Bullet. City leaders held a public safety hearing Tuesday where the club's general manager explained it, all stemmed from a security slip-up. Now a spot can lose his business license as the committee pushes the issue to the full city council. Police logs show a rough year for the club, with repeated calls for assaults, thefts and disorderly conduct, including this latest shooting. The manager admitted a gun slipped through because security didn't pat down or wand everyone properly at the door, calling it a targeted hit. Council members grilled her hard, pointing out the required safety plan wasn't followed, and they couldn't even find a copy of it. Students in the neighborhood keep blaming the club for trouble nearby, like in parking lots, and late night hours from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

1:01aren't. Helping the vibe. The club fired the old security team, hired all new guards, plus off-duty officers, and even renewed its license this week. Still, leaders weren't buying it as enough, saying safety rules aren't just paperwork. The committee voted to send it straight to the full council for a revocation hearing, no date set yet, so Nana Funk stays open while the cityways, shutting it down for good.
