Another rockin' weekend for L&I
Suzanne "Beer Lass" Woods, guest-blogging over at Foobooz, provides this shot of a cease operations order pasted onto the door of Drinker's at 1903 Chestnut. Our well-placed source tells us that Licenses and Inspections came in Saturday night and shut the bar down for being over capacity (a fire hazard). The closure, as is always the case with these things, is temporary. We're awaiting word on when the bar will be running again, but as of right now it's undetermined.
Turns out Drinker's wasn't the only spot L&I hit up this weekend, either. A number of other bars � including Vesuvio and McGlinchey's, from what we hear � got the shaft for comparable violations. Y'all notice any other bars that got roughed up this weekend?
UPDATE: Felicia D just checked in with more on this weekend's closures �
Vesuvio (736 S. Eighth St.) is closed today, but the person who answered the phone (who refused to identify himself) said they would be open tomorrow. He hurriedly hung up the phone when asked why the restaurant was closed.
Ronald Sokol, owner of McGlinchey's (259 S. 15th St.), is already at work remedying the "old wiring in an old building" that earned his bar a fire hazard violation on Saturday. He is gunning to be open by Friday, but admits he finds that date "unlikely."
Apparently Vesuvio getting shutdown was for underage drinking.
It's funny. L&I messes with McGlinchey's but leaves places Moe's Tavern up in Fishtown alone. I'm sure they're completely compliant.
What's your point Mike? Sounds like you are trying to tie in what happened at the ball game with Moe's. Is that really fair? Do you know something about Moe's that we don't? Are there L&I violations we should know? Sounds like you are being a smart ass by jumping on the bandwagon. The Inquirer today stated the purpose of the Moe's sponsored bus trip to the game was to raise money for a local autism organization www.autismspeaks.org. I've never been to Moe's and don't know anyone who goes there. Yes, there were assholes in that bar crowd, just like there are assholes in any bar crowd, even assholes that frequent bars in the tony Main Line, probably where you are from. I've seen plenty of liquored up suburban boys at Phillie's games who were just as obnoxious as anyone else.
yea well chris, none of those so called suburban boys no matter how drunk they were ever stomped a kid to death after he was lying unconscious on the ground. they never lifted a man's unconscious body off the ground so that one of them could run 15 feet to land a flying dropkick to the side of someone's neck with a steeltip boot. also weeks before this happened - the main perp, the bird looking one, nearly strangled a friend of 30 years to death for knocking his hat off jokingly. it took his friends face to turn blue, plus four guys pulling him off for him to finally realize maybe he was doing something wrong. all 3 of them should be killed, no questions asked. it would be totally cool to be almost 50 years old and get into a brawl at the phillie's game cause someone accidently spilt beer on my friend. i wish i was born and raised in kensington. inventor's of the "tooth"brush.
