Hookah hot spot Le Souk's liquor license was suspended yesterday following a slew of violations with the State Liquor Authority, officials said. 
The East Village eatery and club - which has an exemption from the city cigarette ban and features giant water pipes at its tables - was one of 34 establishments whose licenses were pulled.
In addition, the club was fined $12,000 for the violations, SLA officials said.
The Avenue B club has a litany of complaints against it dating back to 2003 for a "disorderly premises," being the "focal point for police attention," exceeding occupancy and keeping illegal hours. It was also cited for building-code violations and fire-safety issues.
Good riddance! That place is the worst! My brother did his birthday there a year ago and on top of of drinks being overpriced and watered down, service being extremely slow and stuff rude, they tried to charge his card for $300 more then the actual bill was. Read Le Souk's reviews on Citysearch to get a sense of how bad that place is. I am sure that any positive comment there was posted by the place's owner as the negative ones are all very consistent with each other and my experience.
That's the photo of our flaming waiter who tried to overcharge us. Yea. It's a man.
People all over the world get the loan in different banks, just because it's comfortable.
