Newly released police documents detail a chaotic after-hours party held at Estella Restaurant in Boston, just days after the New England Patriots defeated the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship game. The incident occurred when police responded to a noise complaint at the restaurant at 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 27. The police found a "private party" with loud music, exotic dancers, concealed hookahs, and patrons still drinking nearly an hour past legal closing time. The owner of Estella, Helder George Brandao, claimed that the players arrived at his restaurant with their own security personnel, about a dozen women, their own hookah equipment, and bottles of Don Julio 1942. The city's entertainment licensing board criticized the restaurant for allowing the party to linger so early into the morning.
