There have been clubs like this before, at least two, possibly three that I can remember. Obviously I never paid that much attention and it didn't affect my life (living here) much.
I have never spoken to any tourist who has been to one of these establishments. Maybe they just wouldn't brag about it to me, I don't know. Mostly, these businesses are supported by people who live here. All
these other places have come and gone, however, so clearly there wasn't a great amount of support involved.
They came, they went and most of the people who frequent St. John and these forums who are pretty darn knowledgable never even knew they existed.
What is different now? Is it really the fact of the night club and other things that go on that people don't want to see? Or is it the fact that information travels at the speed of light and people see and learn about things that they never would have known about without the internet?
Many things that happen here are reported as if it's the first time this has ever happened. Sometimes, that just isn't so.
For most of us, the hours that this place would be open would be hours that we would never be in town anyway. For those of you who are out and about at night, there will be other entertainment options for you.
That's my two cents, for what it's worth.
