At Least 27 Noise Complaints Reported for Vienna Nightclub: Police

VIENNA, VA -- A nightclub in Vienna has received at least 27 complaints about noise, according to the Town of Vienna Police Department.

There have been 27 complaints for noise violation against the Bey Lounge since last September, according to police. The nightclub is located at 303 Mill St. NE in Vienna (see map below).

The latest complaint came July 31, just before 1 a.m.; a police officer arrived and observed that the lounge was in violation of the Town's noise ordinance, according to police. The manager of the Bey Lounge was issued a summons and was released on his signature, police said.

Police spokesman Officer Patrick Kiley said Tuesday that there could be additional complaints, however, when a citizen calls in to report a violation sometimes they don’t include the exact address, but an area.

Kiley also noted that not all of those 27 complaints resulted in a citation. A majority of the time no noise violation was observed, he said.

The club is open until 2 a.m. Thursday-Sunday and until 12:30 a.m. Monday-Wednesday.
