TACOMA, Wash. — After two citations and two warnings for COVID-19 violations, on April 13 the Liquor & Cannabis Board announced a $500 fine or five-day suspension of operations for the Tacoma bar An American Tavern.
The Liquor & Cannabis Board is currently investigating 17 complaints for the bar from last weekend alone.
These are not the bar’s first complaints for flouting the governor’s COVID-19 rules, and neighbors are concerned the customers are spreading the coronavirus.

The bar had previously been cited on Aug. 7 for customers playing pool, and Oct. 1 for serving alcohol after 10 p.m.
