The Beatrice Inn could be back–as a restaurant

Defunct late-night party den The Beatrice Inn appears to be coming back — as a restau rant. At a community board meeting Tuesday night, Cobi Levy, who owns nearby eatery The Charles, detailed his plans to turn the la mented, celeb-packed nightclub on West 12th into a Spanish tapas joint. Says a source, “He was trying to get the board to let him keep the space open till 2 or 3 a.m., but neighbors were having none of it. Finally, they settled on a 1 or 2 a.m. closing time.” Adds our spy: “The party people won’t be pleased. It’s not going to be any- thing like it was.”
