New speakeasy bar to debut in Fort Worth's West 7th street, exclusive access for entry
A new hidden speakeasy concept bar is coming to the West 7th Entertainment District in Fort Worth. Located at 2811 Bledsoe St, No Vacancy, is described as an underground, invitation-only bar. To the common eye, this address will simply be a green dumpster in an alley. However, to those in the know, specifically with the right invitation and code, that green dumpster leads the way to a hidden speakeasy. Existing bars on West 7th The concept of a hidden bar is not new to the area, as the Bodega Speakeasy & Grocery is an existing "secret" bar in the district. Bodega exists behind a functioning grocery storefront, where patrons can purchase an item for a code on their receipt. Where a bar like Bodega and No Vacancy differ is the accessibility of entry. Invite-only access To gain access to this hidden bar, patrons must have one of the following invitations: a confirmed bottle service table reservation with the personal entry code, an invite from one the staff at any one of their sister concept bars, a platinum member card or a long-term patron pass. According to No Vacancy's website, once you've booked a reservation, walk up to the scanner with your invitation and scan it and the door will open. Once inside your ID and invitation will be verified. The exclusive bar is open from Friday to Sunday from the hours of 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., including Saturday night after hours from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. with an additional cover fee. Safety and security on West 7th Street Most bars located in the area of Fort Worth's West 7th Street close at 2 a.m., following the general cutoff time for bars in Texas to stop serving alcohol set by the TABC. Police presence in the West 7th area was increased a few years ago after the death of a TCU student in 2023 and the death of a 29-year-old in 2024. Alongside additional police, the installation of security cameras and a ban on open containers in the area was implemented in 2024. Since the new effort to keep West 7th safe, crimes against persons in the area have decreased by 15.3% according to the city's public safety report in April 2024.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on the National Day Against Gun Violence
OTTAWA, ON, June 6, 2025 /CNW/ - "Canada's new government has a mandate to keep communities safe. On National Day Against Gun Violence, we affirm our commitment to deliver on that mandate with purpose and full force. "Earlier this week, we tabled the Strong Borders Act – giving law enforcement additional tools to secure the border, combat organized crime, stop the flow of illegal fentanyl, and crack down on money laundering. "We are also increasing our capacity to intercept illegal guns coming into our country with the deployment of scanners, drones and helicopters, additional personnel, and K-9 teams to the border. We will also be moving forward to revoke firearms licences for those convicted of intimate partner violence and those subject to protection orders. "Canadians voted for change, and we will be delivering that change with decisive action over the coming months. Working with law enforcement and partners at all orders of government, we will keep communities safe, get guns off our streets, and make bail harder to get for repeat offenders charged with car theft, home invasions, human trafficking, and drug smuggling."

Here's everything new that's dropped—or is about to—in the next few days. Jaat 📅 June 5 | 📺 NetflixSunny Deol is angry. Again. If there's one thing Sunny Deol does best, it's stomping around with moral rage and throwing punches in slow motion. Jaat is a rural action drama where justice is personal, the stakes are high, and Randeep Hooda gives his best brooding-face performance. The plot kicks off when an elite Indian government operative is sent to Sri Lanka to take down a ruthless terrorist bankrolled by the criminal underworld. Think '90s Deol energy, but shinier, slightly more woke, and definitely more global. Stolen 📅 June 4 | 📺 Prime VideoA baby vanishes. So does your one's a tense-as-hell mystery thriller that starts at a dusty train station in rural India and spirals fast. Two brothers—one a photographer, the other a cop—try to solve a child abduction, and let's just say nobody leaves unscarred. It's moody, sharp, and somehow still grounded in reality. Bring popcorn. And a blanket to hide under. Mercy For None 📅 June 6 | 📺 NetflixBrother gone. Guns out. Vengeance mode: it to Korean drama to make revenge look this stylish. A former gangster dives headfirst back into the underworld to find out who killed his brother. Expect brutal fight scenes, moody neon-lit nights, and characters who never say what they mean.

This sharp, no-time-wasted short film by Varun Grover follows a young filmmaker caught in a maddening showdown with India's censor board over—wait for it—a single kiss. It's queer, clever, and cuts right to the bone of who gets to decide what love looks like on screen. Stick 📅 June 4 | 📺 Apple TV+Golf, grudges, and a grumpy Owen Wilson: what more do you need?Owen Wilson plays a washed-up golf pro who's forced to coach a hot-headed teen with talent but zero chill.
