https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/dc-restaurants-liquor-license-to-be-suspended-after-violating-vaccine-mandate
A restaurant in Washington, D.C., had its liquor license suspended, making it the first establishment to face punishment for violating the districts mask and COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Investigators with the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration served the suspension notice to the Big Board, a specialty burger shop and pub, at 4 p.m. Friday and retrieved the restaurant's license, ABRA spokesman Jared Powell told the Washington Examiner.
The establishment cannot sell, serve, or allow the consumption of alcoholic beverages, nor can they purchase or take delivery of alcoholic beverages from wholesalers or manufacturers while the liquor license is suspended, Powell said in an email.
ABRA voted Wednesday to refer the Big Board to the district's attorney general to draft a suspension notice, according to Powell.
The Office of the Attorney General confirmed earlier Friday that it was in the process of drafting a suspension notice, which was posted on the front doors of the restaurant that evening. The suspension is in effect until further notice, according to Marrisa Geller, a press secretary for the OAG.

The restaurant must have known this would happen. They were asking for it.
There's an unrelated video of Sarah Palin at the link.

Yeah, that's way too many warnings for it to be anything other than flaunting non-compliance.

I work a couple of blocks away and used to eat there every couple of weeks. Their "Chicago Fire" burger was so good.
I haven't been there since the pandemic started, but there's no way in hell I'd ever eat there again. That said, there's no way that place survives without selling alcohol, so it probably won't be an option much longer.

but apparently it comes with a side of COVID. They're a stubborn repeat offender with enough warnings over the last few months.

I liked the place - but nowhere near enough for me to ever give them another chance.
