Sherriff deputies busted a crowded underground bar in Jackson Heights early Sunday morning where more than 300 unmasked partygoers were packed into a basement.

The officers discovered the unlicensed bar operating out of a basement at Sueño Americano, located at 35-16 Junction Blvd., shortly after midnight, authorities said.

The deputies observed people — split into small groups — trickle into the basement over the course of three hours, according to reports.

The officers entered the club and found patrons packed together without masks–dancing, smoking hookah and drinking. They also found that all four exits of the establishment were bolted shut from the inside, sealing the crowd in.

Deputies ticketed the business, a DJ and several patrons for violation of the state emergency order, health code violations and various misdemeanors. The business was also charged for operating without a liquor license.

The crowd that gathered at the 109th Precinct Community Council monthly meeting had waited years to hear the news that Mayor Eric Adams delivered in person at the Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel in Downtown Flushing on Nov. 13.

The mayor announced the creation of a neighborhood satellite command in College Point that will divide the 109th Precinct into two response zones, allowing police to respond more swiftly to emergencies and 911 calls. The 109th Precinct annex will utilize existing space at the NYPD’s Police Academy at 28-29 College Point Blvd. and serve Sectors Charlie and David in Whitestone, Beechhurst, Bay Terrace and College Point.
