All liquor licenses and other permits at The Post Local Bistro, 844 Penniman Ave., were suspended Jan. 14 by state inspectors. According to documents presented to the licensing board, The Post allowed about 100 people in an outdoor service area on at least one occasion in January, a violation of current state restrictions. The documents claim that an accredited state investigator found the establishment parking lot full of vehicles during a January inspection and found “nearly every available seat occupied” in an outdoor service area along with several people standing near tables.”
The report also indicated that tables were not properly distanced, customers were not wearing masks and about 100 people were in the outdoor service area for the business, a clear violation of state health mandates.
The suspension follows numerous warnings to the establishment and both Plymouth police and Wayne County health officials had previously found violations at the restaurant, according to the state filings. Licensing at Plymouth Rock on Ann Arbor Road was suspended last month due to coronavirus health code violations but has been reinstated following a hearing and changes in procedures.
