After a December 18th City of Reno memo indicated its suspension had been lifted, the downtown Reno Eden nightclub has been remodeling for its reopening.
“We have spent the last few months diving deep into all of the comments, concerns, and even questions about our operations,” co-owner Wolfgang Welch indicated to Our Town Reno.
The reopening has been allowed since earlier this month, but Welch said “remodeling has been a process.”
Welch said he’s taken all the comments he’s seen since the nightclub was forced to shut down in September.
“Some we agree with, some we don’t, some are easy to digest and some aren’t. All of them are valid and we want our communities to know that we hear them,” he wrote to Our Town Reno.
“We have worked heavily with The City of Reno, Reno Police Department and other entities to ensure that our next phase addresses all comments and concerns in a productive way. Nightlife is vital to any city’s cultural experience and we want to be a positive contributor to that experience. We know that retribution doesn’t happen overnight but we are confident that with the work we’ve done we can change the opinion and outlook of everyone and find that retribution soon.”
The City of Reno memo indicated that on December 17th, “the Administrative Hearing Officer determined that the licensee has substantially complied with all requirements and that the suspension would be lifted.”
The memo indicated “the licensee disclosed a targeted reopening date of December 27” but that has now been pushed back.
An initial Reno PD memorandum in September, said it started noticing “an increase in calls for service” at the Eden location on the 200 block of West 2nd street. It indicated Eden “was found to be the primary location of a large majority of criminal activity.”
Changes have now been made to comply with needed safety requirements.
