‘Nanny’ Quinn eyes ban on bottle service in ‘fight clubs’

QUINN “Emergency.”

QUINN “Emergency.”

Attention, clubgoers — there’s a new nightlife nanny in town.

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn took a page out of Mayor Bloomberg’s buzzkill playbook yesterday, announcing a plan to crack down on nightclub bottle service to prevent them from being used as weapons.

In the spirit of Bloomberg’s crusade to keep waistlines safe from soda, the woman who wants to succeed him hopes to make VIP rooms safe for New York’s rap stars and trust-fund kids in the wake of Thursday’s Chris Brown/Drake brawl at W.i.P. nightclub.

“I am deeply concerned by reports of the bottle-throwing melee that injured more than five people in SoHo this week. That is why I have immediately convened an emergency meeting next week between my office, the NYPD and the nightlife industry,” Quinn announced yesterday.

“The purpose of this meeting is to send a clear message to all nightclub patrons that bottles cannot be used as weapons and to determine if the guidelines surrounding bottle service need to be updated or reworked.”

Quinn has no specific plan to baby-proof nightlife in New York — such as replacing $2,000 bottles of Champagne with sippy cups.

A source close to Quinn said the speaker was “shocked” by the violence in the brawl and expected strong action.

“The reports in the paper today were that they were using these bottles as grenades,” said the source. “These weren’t glasses and beer cans. These were large-sized bottles being used as weapons.”

The possibility of city meddling has some nightclub owners worried.

“It’s one incident, and I think to try and overregulate and become a nanny state is pretty absurd,” said Dominick D’Alleva, who owns Sway on Spring Street. “The vast majority of clubs have no problems. Before you know it, New York City is going to become not the nightlife capital.”

Remi Laba of Bagatalle in the Meatpacking District added: “To say bottle service is the reason for fighting makes no sense for several reasons. Are we saying that dive bars, pubs and places that don’t have bottle service don’t have fights?”
