TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — The Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board has suspended the license of a bar in Tacoma for 180 days, after months of complaints and citations. The News Tribune reports the board said this week that it issued an immediate, emergency suspension of An American Tavern’s license because of repeated, willful non-compliance and disregard for public health and safety. The board also said during that time it will seek to revoke the license permanently. The board has received 60 complaints about the bar, has issued verbal and written warnings, four administrative violations and $800 in fines. Efforts by the newspaper to reach owner Kyle Bidwell for comment were not immediately successful.
