Boston Police Release Body-Camera Video of Patriots’ After-Hours Party at Estella

The footage documents officers encountering hookahs, scattered cash, and dancers during a licensing violation probe.

Overview

  • Boston police published multiple body-camera clips on March 11 showing officers responding just before 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 27 to a private basement gathering at Estella.
  • The Boston Licensing Board previously imposed a three-day liquor license suspension for violations, with one day served and two days held in abeyance for a year.
  • Officers reported strong odors of marijuana and tobacco, noted apparent indoor hookah use and unauthorized adult entertainment, and said security briefly blocked their entry.
  • No arrests or criminal charges were reported, and the videos do not clearly identify specific New England Patriots players.
  • Owner Helder George Brandao accepted responsibility at a hearing, criticized the players for the situation and said they brought their own alcohol and entertainment, while the team has not commented.
