The Sun has contacted Pryzm for comment.
It comes after the chain announced that it would be pulling the shutters down on its venue in Watford.
The legendary site was opened in the 1970s and was called Top Rank, before being renamed Baileys.
Pryzm was formerly run by nightclub operator the Deltic Group.
Its other brands included Oceana, Atik, Eden and Bar&Beyond.
But the company filed a notice to appointment administrators in December 2020.
It was recused by Scandinavian hospitality giant Rekom, which at the time ran more than 100 nightclubs and bars across Norway, Demark, and Finland.
Since the takeover, Pryzm has also closed its site in Cardiff.
Earlier this year, Peter Marks, chairman at Rekom UK, said the industry was being hit particularly hard by the cost of living crisis.
He said he is “desperately concerned” about how this is particularly affecting students, who are out socialising less regularly than previous groups.
A number of other leisure and hospitality chains have also been hit hard by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the cost of living crisis.
