City sheriff’s officers busted up a massive, illegal “bottle club” in Midtown on Saturday morning, chasing out nearly 400 people who were partying like there’s no pandemic.

The rager, held inside commercial space one building down from the Pig ‘N’ Whistle bar on West 36th Street near Seventh Avenue, was raided at 2:45 a.m., the sheriff’s office said in a tweet later Saturday.

The tweet included photos showing dozens of bottles of booze for sale at the ad hoc club, including Jameson whiskey, Hennessy cognac and Patron tequila.

Four organizers were busted for allegedly violating emergency order restrictions, which ban gatherings of more than 50 people, and for warehousing and selling liquor without a license.
