First Hill

9th and Madison

The Washington State Liquor Board has temporarily suspended Vito’s Madison Grill’s liquor license. They will not be serving booze this weekend.

According to Liquor Board spokesman Brian Smith, last February, the Seattle Police Department received a tip that Sting Entertainment was promoting an event at Vito’s, and was allowing minors in to the bar for a $10 cover charge.

When SPD showed up, there were 10 underage patron in the bar, some with drinks in their hands.

Smith says Vito’s was originally supposed to serve a 7 day suspension in July, but they came to an agreement with the Liquor Board. Vito’s license has been suspended for 4 days and they will pay a $1500 fine.

Prohibition at Vito’s ends on the 11th.

Well, guess I won't be heading to my favorite close-to-work and cheap-as-hell happy hour today. Tragic. Can't say I'm all that surprised though, Vito's was one of the best places I knew of to get a drink when I was a minor.
