Metro Beer Board Hits Four Downtown Bars With Temporary Beer Permit Suspensions | Eater Nashville

"After inspectors observed staff serving patrons at the bar on Saturday in violation of Phase Two rules, I report that the Metropolitan Beer Board unanimously voted today to issue a five-day beer permit suspension to Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Steakhouse; under Phase Two restaurants may open at 75 percent capacity but bars must remain closed. Inspector Melvin Brown said the establishments “were in violation of two points of the order that states bar areas must remain closed to the public,” adding that “no interaction with the public is allowed, and alcohol can only be served at tables and booths,” and he said he’ll make repeat visits to check for further violations. Mayor Cooper announced the city is on track to enter Phase Three on Monday, when bars could operate at half-capacity." - Delia Jo Ramsey
