The Cricket Lounge, a gentlemen’s club located in Pittsburgh’s Bloomfield neighborhood, has been ordered to temporarily close by the Allegheny County Health Department. Last week, health inspectors were denied entry into the building for a routine inspection. As a result, the business has been ordered to shut down until further notice.
According to the inspection report, the health department requires the business to schedule and pass an inspection before reopening. The health department’s website will provide updates on when the closure order has been lifted.
