Something unsavory surfaced earlier this month in the candlelit A-list world of Cuban lounge "Socialista" in the West Village.
One of the bartenders at the upscale watering hole came back from vacation with a case of Hepatitis A and now upwards of 800 patrons are being told to get inoculations. That list includes many of the biggest names in Hollywood, music and fashion.
"In a few hours I got sick," bar patron Jorge Estuardo said. "I did not eat anything. I just had drinks. I suspect something had to do with the drinks or the glassware. I'm not sure."
The bar is the kind of place you need to be on a list to get in -- and the list can be pretty impressive.
Ashton Kutcher had his 30th birthday bash at the bar on Feb. 7, one of three nights the infected bartender was at work. Demi Moore, Madonna, Kate Hudson, Liv Tyler, Salma Hayek, and Bruce Willis were all exposed that day as well.
