Health Department Shuts Down Pittsburgh Club

PITTSBURGH, PA — The Allegheny County Health Department has ordered the closure of Medusa's Lair, on Morewood Avenue in Oakland, for multiple health code violations.

An inspection on Tuesday revealed a sewage backup in the entrance lobby floor drain, which is considered an imminent health hazard.

The interior of an ice machine was soiled with a mold-like substance.

The gentleman's club also did not have an active health permit.

A "closed" placard is posted at an establishment when an imminent health hazard is identified at a restaurant or kitchen or if it has been operating without proper permits. It is unlawful to operate a food facility with a "closed" placard.
