Jarocki
The former limo service and strip joint owner once engaged to the high-class hooker who cost former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer his job in 2008, just opened a nightclub in Juno Beach.
The Copacabana of Palm Beach opened in early December in the space once occupied by Bianca’s on US 1.
Co-owner Jason Jarocki, 34, exploded on the tabloid scene in early 2008 when his ex, Ashley Dupre, was named as a high-priced hooker hired by Spitzer for kinky sex games at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Dupre
The revelations made during a federal investigation that the married Democrat Spitzer patronized escort services caused him to resign in March 2008.
At the time, Jarocki said he had known Dupre as a woman of impeccable moral values. He bought her an $80,000-engagement ring and a Benz, but then told reporters he always wondered where Dupre would disappear for days at a time.
The two broke up in late 2006, well after Dupre started her sex-for-money career.
State records show Jarocki incorporated Copacabana Nov. 30, with former Jupiter Police detective Dominick Barbanera as co-owner.
“It’s a supper club,” Barbanera said of the Copa. “There’ll be live music and five-star food. Just an old-fashioned club to cater to the 50 and 60-something in the area. That’s why we picked that name.”
Barbanera said he had no problem going in business with Jarocki.
“It was just his girlfriend with Spitzer,” he said. “It’s not like he himself was running an escort service.”

SOUNDS LIKE A RECIPE FOR DISASTER!!!!!!!!
Great, I will be there tonight.
What an idiot.
More crooked cops/ex cops. Palm Beach is fast becomming another Chicago.
he is definetly a complete idiot !!! who would opend a restaurant with someone who is being sued????? plus she looks like a CRACKHEAD!!!! different d*** will ruin your beauty!!!!
might as well have been Spitzer’s former taxi cab driver’s old chess partner’s aunt who used to know so & so’s barber…
Why do these sleazy people always seem to come here?!?
Jose - This could be my favorite Page2Live headline evah!
problem isnt that two vinnies are runnin the joint, problem is the location is right in the DUI pipeline. us1 in juno beach? at night? B..A..D.. idea
I have been there and what a nice place. Good food and drinks. Good luck.
FAAGETABOUTIT! THEY’LL BUST THAT JOINT OUT IN 6MOS IF THEY KNOW WHAT THERE DOING!…TRUST ME!
Years ago, they used to pack the blue hairs in that location. Then R. Day tried to burn it down and went up the river when he got ratted out.
Why doesn’t Tigers hookers also join in on this venture?
Is she still “working” aside from this venture? Does anyone know her rates? How much did she make off that Spitzer scandel anyway?
In your face John Haggin. What’s good for the goose is good for the GECKO!!!
I see a new money making venture for Juno cops,can put there infamous speed trap van near this place and if no one is speeding they can still pull people over looking for DUI suspects,Its crazy to open any type of liquor serving biz in hardass Juno.
Boy Jose you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for a story like this. Who givs a crap about this POS opportunist. You need to get a life and stop wasting our time with this shit
Why all the player haters? At least we now have a hot club to hook up in for the over 50 horny dogs. I’ve been there 4 times since it opened and scored every night. The place is teaming with over 50-girls that wanna have fun. I recommend it to all of the pleaseure seeking over 50’s to check out!
honestly i’ve been there and the place is preety interesting the food is delicious and the crowd is preety amazing specially when they have live music i think is preety pathetic to bring this man’s past he obviously moved on i know him personally he is engaged and also has a beautiful family with he’s fiance and their 3 yr old baby he does not need this bulls*** he’s making a living.I NEVER THOUGHT ECONOMY WAS THIS BAD THAT YOU HAD TO POST A “BREAKING NEWS” LIKE THIS ONE!!! RUNING OUT OF X-MAS SHOPPING MONEY JOSE????!!! GOOD JOB BUDDY
I saw a story about this place in the little area restaurant paper - they had a big ad about it - The place is truly jumping - I went tonight and its jamming - tomorrow will be really good since this article hit and more people know its open - hot crowd of older (over 45) women - seemed to be 2-1 girls to guys - a real candy land. We need more flashy biz guys in Juno like this guy - maybe it’ll wake up Juno!
3 weeks!
Leave the guy alone! He has moved on with a family. I have been to the copa and met Mr Jarocki and his fiance as well. They seem to be so happy and in love. The food was great and the bands where outstanding. THE PALM BEACH POST IS A JOKE! LEAVE THIS FAMILY AND HIS BUSINESS ALONE! JOSE NEEDS TO FIND ANOTHER JOB!!
Here we go again. Another skank Ho being glorified. 20 years ago these women would be run out of town. Now they are mini celebrities. Young girls see garbage like her and Tigers Ho’s, ans they think they want to be strippers and escorts and become famous like them. The media has got to stop this. Its no wonder America still has the reputation it does. The value system here is completely gone.
I was at the copa last friday night the place was packed.He runs a class act, food , music and staff where excellent.He maybe be a old strip club owner and has made some mistakes along the way, but he knows what hes doing. Leave the guy alone. He is making a honest living. Like the partner says ” He wasent running the escort business”. Good job guys and good luck!
all i can say is this place is one hot spot-
mr Jarocki definetly got some taste his restaurant is one of a kind right when u walk in u get in the mood and you will not stop dancing until they close, and his beautiful fiance a very beautiful young lady who makes him shine is right by his side and I’m very pleasant to say just like him she has a very good sense of humor and what a classy lady she is they both came to me and my wife and introduce them selves and she is nothing like the woman in that picture so i’m guessing he has settle down and has a wonderful bussines and a lovely and gorgeous woman in his life HE DOES NOT NEED THIS KIND OF PUBLICITY HE HAVE WHAT HE NEEDS AND THIS ARTICLE IS JUST RIDICULOUS AND STUPID!… CONGRATULATIONS MS. AND MR JAROCKI !!!!!!!!!
COPACABANA IS CLOSE FOR BUSSINES AS OF YESTERDAY 12/22/2009 - DO TO CONFLICTS BETWEEN PATNERSHIPS-
Jason pulls another Jarocki - closes Copacabana after a mere 3 weeks - stops answering his phone or returning calls - owes everyone money - this guy is just another NY fraud.
Juno Beach? You must be kidding me. Has the guy scoped this place out after March 15? Dead, dead and deader. A few octogs will flow in after Jan. 1 and until then he’s shilling the join. Juno cops are lovin’ this for sure. The cops will reek in millions in DUI rev and will have to add cells. Jupiter is dead too and N. Palm Beach mostly. Dead dead and deader … his business mind is functionalless. Merci.
copa was closed on 12/22/09. Jarocki has some problems in the past but the partner has some of his own. The partner is being sued from 3 banks and a truck leasing company, who is the real fraud?
This guy is the biggest BS artist in the world. If it wasn’t for his grandfathers money he couldn’t even get into a strip club. He’s a con man and that’s way he cant go back to New York, He’s a spoiled punk !!!!!
I freaking love florida this is the state where drama is A MOST!! (CHARLIEM)
I could easily say you are somebody that knows jason jarocki and have some personal issues with the guy about he’s GRANDFATHER I could also say you are one big piece of sh!t and a back stabber if you are talking about some ones relatives that way that just tells me you know jason MORE than just anybody to make such a comment and by posting such a comment just takes you to the level of “A JACKASS IN NEED OF ATTENTION” i bet you couldnt wait for something like this to come up so you can blow up huh? SINCE ALL YOU CAN DO IS POST COMMENTS ON A MISERABLE WEBSITE THAT LOOSERS LIKE YOU ARE KEEP TRACK OF SO THEY CAN RUN TYPE THEIR @SS OFF TALKING SHIT HELP YOUR SELF AND DO NOT STOP GIVING HIM FAME KUDOS TO YOU CHARLIEM!!!!!!!!!!!
