Selectmen to Start Liquor License Violation Hearings Next Month

Nine establishments that failed a liquor license compliance check conducted by the Foxborough Police Department will face disciplinary hearings held by the selectmen starting in November.

Town Manager Bill Keegan announced on Tuesday night that the hearing are schedules for Nov. 12 and 19, and Dec. 8.

On Sept. 25, the Foxborough police Department conducted a compliance check for 29 businesses in town with a liquor license. A 19-year-old from Stonehill College was sent into the restaurant or bar and told to ask for an alcoholic beverage. If the 19-year-old was asked for his license or his age, he gave his real license and real age.

The following businesses failed the compliance check:

• Chickie Flynn’s
• Demitri’s Red Snapper
• Lafayette House
• Renaissance Hotel at Patriot Place
• Saga Hibachi Steakhouse
• Showcase Cinema De Lux
• Skipjack’s
• Tavolino’s
• Waxy O’Connor’s Irish Pub.

During the hearing, the selectmen will hear testimony and evidence concerning what happened on the night of the violations. They will also decide if action is needed based on the findings. Punishments range from a letter of reprimand to a liquor license suspension.
