NYC man Forced to pay $28K strip club tab


A Manhattan man didn’t keep his eye on the correct bottom line while boozing at Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club, and found himself on the hook for a $28,000 bar tab.

William Ilg’s lawsuit — claiming that he was fraudulently billed at the West Side jiggle joint in 2011 — is a bust, too.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Manuel Mendez tossed out the suit, in which Ilg alleged he was served too many drinks, leaving him “no longer capable of conducting financial transactions.”

When Ilg discovered $28,109.60 in credit card charges for a night of pleasure he couldn’t even remember, he demanded a full refund.

“There is no duty upon (Hustler Club) to protect plaintiff from the results of his (voluntary) intoxication,” Mendez wrote in a recent decision.

The judge also dismissed another legal action Ilg filed this year claiming the club lacked the proper liquor license. In that motion, Ilg added the allegation he was plied with cocaine as well as booze on the night he was soaked, according to court papers. Hustler Club lawyer Beth Gereg declined to comment and Ilg’s lawyer did not return a call.

Gerard Wall, a Delaware man who sued the Hustler Club in 2010 for making a boob out of him by charging $21,620.60 when all he wanted was a $300 lap dance, settled his suit last year against the erotic emporium.
