Philadelphia- Swingers paradise Club Kama Sutra (712 South) was shut down by the Department of Licenses and Inspections Saturday night.
Not for hosting consensual-sex parties between willing adults, which it’s been doing since December 2000, but according to L&I records, for not having the proper permits to operate as a restaurant and private club.
The club, which from the outside appears to be a restaurant called Señor Rattler’s Cantina, initially welcomed only couples, but recently began allowing single adults to party there, too.
“Club Kama Sutra has been operating for five years with the full knowledge and approval of all governmental authorities,” owner Alan Tizer said.
“CKS complies with all laws and has all necessary permits, licenses and certificates,” Tizer said. “CKS parties are private assemblies of consenting adults. To the extent that L&I may have found some minor code violations, they will be examined and immediately corrected. Any business in the city, subject to a secret midnight raid, would probably turn up a few code violations.”
