CLEVELAND (WJW) – Video released to the FOX 8 I-Team shows Cleveland police uncovering a secret doorway to a hidden nightclub.
So, we investigated the story behind it.
The video takes you inside a hidden world police didn’t even know existed until one officer took a few extra steps and pushed open a door.
The case started with police checking out a coffee shop where workers were suspected of selling alcohol. Officers went to a building at East 186th and St. Clair.

“We’re getting a lot of complaints for this place.” one officer told people there.
“Complaints?” a man responded.
“Open late. Large crowds. I’m like, a coffee shop, open late?” the officer continued.
“I think you all have the wrong place,” another man answered.
Police discovered the coffee shop had no permits to sell liquor or food.
Meanwhile, an officer said, “let me do a quick check.”
Then, when one officer takes a walk to the back, she goes through a door to the bathrooms and pushes open another dor. Turns out, that door leads to a bar.
