The notorious Soho bar where John Jay College graduate student Imette St. Guillen met the bouncer accused of murdering her is history, its attorney said yesterday.

“There is no plan to open the business again because there is not enough

business to justify it,” lawyer Richard Emery told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jane Solomon yesterday.

Emery, who represents Michael Dorrian, owner of The Falls bar, was in court to argue that his client should be allowed into the shuttered bar to retrieve furniture, fixtures and other property.

City lawyers got the judge to padlock the bar last week, arguing that the nightspot was a nuisance because it served underage drinkers and sold alcohol after closing hours.

Emery said padlocking it was a publicity stunt – noting that the bar had been closed several days before the city showed up. “The establishment was closed five days before they went in, broke the locks and sealed it again,” Emery said.

City lawyer Allen Schwartz asked the judge not to let Dorrian back into the bar, but Solomon gave him permission to take out his property.

Joseph Tacopina, a lawyer for St. Guillen’s family, said closing the bar is a step in the right direction. “Instead of closing down because the Dorrians aren’t making any money, they should be concerned about why their business is going down,” he said.

St. Guillen’s family is arguing for stronger laws to weed out bad bouncers like the 24-year-old’s accused killer – Darryl Littlejohn, 41, a parolee who was illegally working at the bar.
