Akes' Place liquor license suspended

From the Burlington Free Press:
Burlington's Local Control Commission -- the City Council -- on Monday suspended the liquor license of Akes' Place for seven days.

The suspension, which includes the bar's entertainment permit, will run from 8 a.m. April 30 to 2 a.m. May 7.

The City Council also suspended the bar's entertainment permit for an additional five days, from 8 a.m. on May 13 until 2 a.m. May 18. The suspensions grew out of two alleged incidents at the downtown bar at 134 Church St.

Apparently, this is the result of the bouncers getting a little too enthusiastic and sending someone home bloody, as well as serving a too-intoxicated patron.

At least its just a sports bar.
