Sorry to bring this up, but wasn't it Chester Daxe who opened a warehouse dance club called Metropol, hired DJ Jerry Bonham away from the Saloon, then shortly thereafter burned down the Metropol for insurance proceeds???
His son Ronnie Pesis who owned the Saloon was another matter. Perhaps that is where the questionable business dealings comes from. Ronnie had some drug related legal difficulties & put his bar in the names of Andy & John who subsequently took over, but the specific details are not known to me. Ernie's other son, Jimmy who is still in the area could perhaps fill in the blanks.
Suttons moved briefly to 5th & Hennepin, where it was quickly overwhelmed by straight partiers. Soon it's gay identity was lost & eventually it through an identity change followed by a name change. It was glamorous fun while it lasted.
