WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- A Wausau tavern might be serving soda, water, or nothing at all for a while if a city committee’s recommendation is approved by the city council. It’s Our Clubhouse Bar has been visited by police over 50 times since opening on Third Avenue in June. The problems range from fights to disturbing the peace.
The Public Health and Safety Committee on Monday heard police testimony, and saw video evidence of some of the issues. Assistant City Attorney Tara Alfonso asked the committee for a 60-day liquor license suspension. Bar co-owner Bryan Morel offered to shut down for 15 days for rehiring and training of staff to deal with the problems.
The committee passed Alfonso’s 60-day suspension recommendation and forwarded it to the full city council. The city council will vote on it October 14th.
