BLCE: Mulligan’s failed to adhere to conditions placed upon liquor license
SHENANDOAH – The State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement accused a downtown bar of failing to adhere to conditions the liquor control board placed on its license.
The BLCE said Mulligan’s, 316-318 South Main Street, violated the conditions on Nov. 6, 19, Dec. 13, 2022, and Jan. 14, 2023.
The specific conditions violated were not detailed.
A conditional license agreement was signed between the PLCB and Mulligan’s owner, Pocono Enterprise Co., last February as a condition of the bar’s liquor license renewal.
According to the agreement, Mulligan’s is required to be “compliant with the responsible alcohol management provisions of the Liquor Code,” including having new employee orientation, training for alcohol service personnel, training for managers and owners, and certification of compliance by the PLCB’s Bureau of Alcohol Education.
Mulligan’s is also required to use a transaction scan device and scan the identification cards of all patrons purchasing alcohol, regardless of whether they’d been scanned a previous day. The scan information is required to be made available to law enforcement upon request, as well as the PLCB.
The agreement also required Mulligans to maintain a security camera system with a minimum of 12 cameras, with at least six inside showing the licensed areas of the premises and at least six showing the entire exterior. All cameras are required to continuously record during operating hours, and the recordings should be retained for at least two weeks and be made available to law enforcement upon request.
A banned patrons list is also to be maintained by Mulligan’s, requiring, at minimum, the name of the banned patron, date they were banned, and length they would be banned. Incidents of disturbance are also required to be recorded via Incident Documentation Forms in all areas under Mulligan’s control.
The bar is also required to maintain a record of any discipline or other action imposed upon any alcohol service personnel.
