From bars to gas stations, these 9 central Ohio businesses could lose their liquor licenses
There’s been a streak of violence occurring at establishments that serve alcohol (and no, not just bars), and City Council is trying to combat this to hopefully improve public safety and save lives. Taking away liquor licenses could potentially help.
On Tuesday, November 28th, the City’s Public Safety Committee met to discuss liquor-permitted businesses that often violate city codes, and are continuously involved in violent crimes.

On Monday, December 4th, the list will be heard in front of Columbus City Council.

Stay tuned for the next steps in the process.
