Liquor License Suspended at the B.O.B. - Restaurant seeks court order during appeal

Yesterday, the Liquor Control Commission decided to increase the penalty on the B.O.B. from three day's suspension to ten day's suspension of their liquor license.

Greg Gilmore, the B.O.B.'s owner, had faced a three-day suspension of The B.O.B.'s license after an MLCC hearing commissioner this spring ruled that his employees served a visibly drunk Kevin O’Brien in May 2013, when he died after falling down a now-enclosed fire exit stairwell at the multi-venue complex in downtown Grand Rapids.

Gilmore is now seeking a injunction that will stay the suspension while the appeal of the 10 days suspension is pending.
