Roswell Suspends Bar's Alcohol License

ROSWELL, GA — A Roswell bar will be unable to sell alcohol on its premises until 2019, as the City Council at its Nov. 13 voted unanimously to suspend the alcohol license for Cancun Bar & Grill.

The license will be suspended for 60 days, beginning Nov. 14 and running through Jan. 12, 2019. Roswell added there will be an additional period of 26 days with no alcohol sales because the current license holder doesn't work at the facility and the application can't be considered until the Feb. 7, 2019, Alcohol Beverage License Board hearing

All alcohol has been removed from the bar at 10479 Alpharetta Street #19 during the suspension period. The case stems from the establishment allegedly violating the city's ordinance when an employee sold a drink to an undercover officer around 3:30 a.m. May 11.

This violated the city's alcohol ordinance, as the approximate time of the transaction is beyond the 2 a.m. cut-off time for sale and service of beverages for consumption on the premises.
