The owner of Lost Society on Lower Greenville is an illegal immigrant who lied on his Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission application, authorities say. Wow. Score one for Lower Greenville homeowners.

The story about Brightman “Brian” Nwatu’s felony arrest and possible deportation indicates that Lost Society is the No. 1 place in town for underage drinking, especially among SMU students. The Daily Campus, the university’s student newspaper, named it the “best club for under 21’s”, and the SMU police say it’s a known trouble spot.

A Yelp review of the joint even refers to “underage drunks as far as the eye could see.” Another reviewer says “I had forgotten I came here until I looked at my debit card statement,” and “We chugged crown and cokes…” Another says: “We were drunk and it was 10 o’clock in the morning. We were excited for cheap drinks.”

Really? They were open at 10 a.m.? I am no pollyanna, and that is apalling.

This place was not on my radar before. But we are happy to see you go, Lost Society.
