PITTSFIELD â It wasnât just the bar-top dancing. Repeated infractions before that incident this month at Methuselah Bar & Lounge will cost it a month of operation, followed by another month of curtailed entertainment.
In issuing a penalty Thursday, the Licensing Boardâs chairman noted that while bar owner Yuki Cohen wracked up multiple pandemic-era safety violations, other city establishments closed for good. âThe reason why theyâve gone under is that theyâve complied with Covid orders,â Chairman Thomas Campoli told Cohen and the board.
Sounding off as well were other restaurant and bar owners in Pittsfield, who sought to see Cohenâs license revoked.
