MANHATTAN — Beer drinkers have one less place to get their brews from bikini clad ladies this weekend — police shuttered Port 41 following a string of underaged drinking citations.

Police converged on the dive and bikini bar at 355 West 41st St. on Thursday night, Eater first reported.

Officers from the Civil Enforcement Unit arrived at Port 41 following a nuisance abatement request, according to the NYPD.

The bar had previously racked up three citations for selling alcohol to minors who were working with the NYPD, police said. On all three occasions, the bar was issued summones.

No arrests have been issued, but Port 41's owner is scheduled to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court on April 5, according to the NYPD.
