2 PIB Bars Cited For Health Order Violations

(ONN) – Agents from the Ohio Investigative Unit cited two businesses at Put-in-Bay over the weekend after receiving complaints about health order violations.

Agents visited Mist Bar and T & J.’s Smokehouse on South Bass Island and issued citations after they say they witnessed numerous patrons congregating with no social distancing measures in place and many not wearing masks.

These cases will go before the Ohio Liquor Control Commission for potential penalties, including fines and/or the suspension of liquor permits.

Although many bars and restaurants statewide were found in compliance with health orders agents said a number of warnings were issued over the weekend.
