Weymouth Bar Faces Liquor License Suspension Following Coronavirus Violations | Eater Boston

"After inspectors found several alleged COVID-19 violations — including unmasked employees, customers drinking without eating, and patrons seated at the bar — the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission suspended the liquor license of KC’s Pub and Grill in Weymouth; owner Nick Akoury reportedly told inspectors the pandemic was 'a bunch of bullshit' and that 'No government is going to tell me how to run my business.' Akoury later convinced the commission he would abide by the rules by submitting a detailed COVID-19 reopening plan that was approved by the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards, the suspension was lifted on September 11, and the bar quickly reopened." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
