K C's Pub & Grill

"The state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission suspended the liquor license of Weymouth bar KC’s Pub and Grill following a number of alleged coronavirus-related violations. Inspectors visiting in mid-August reportedly found several unmasked employees, customers drinking without eating, and customers seated at the bar — all against current state rules — not to mention an owner who wasn’t afraid to share his thoughts on coronavirus with said inspectors, such as that the pandemic is a “bunch of bullshit.” “No government is going to tell me how to run my business,” owner Nick Akoury also reportedly told inspectors. Akoury was able to get his license reinstated by convincing the commission that he would abide by the rules and by submitting, and getting approved, a detailed COVID-19 reopening plan to the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards. The suspension was lifted on September 11, and the bar quickly reopened its doors." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
