West Chelsea in Buenos Aires

Crobar’s first South American foray opens tonight, says this breathless press release. Let me quote:
The South American expansion advances crobar towards 'taking over the Americas,' and eventually, the global nightlife community, providing venues around the world with forward-thinking philosophies; outrageous aesthetics; mind blowing audio-visual capabilities; and the best DJs the world of electronic music has to offer.
I understand the lowercase c'd crobar has long been in capital c'd Chicago, but I've only known it as a relatively new, oversized boîte amid West Chelsea’s art galleries back in Manhattan. In a nod to the better weather down here, the 22,000-square-foot Buenos Aires version promises to go topless with a retractable roof. One last quote on BsAs:
Great architecture, a western mentality and a sense of style are a few ways that describe this great metropolis.
...But not very good ones. (Ok. I feel better; I've let enough snark out for now.)

word on the street has it that they got closed down on opening night, minutes after all the hot shot invitees started to arrive. many places all over the city also fell victim to the inspectors, the post-cromagnon saga continues...
