Miami-Dade may be rolling back the restrictions, but there's one venue where the party hasn't yet resumed: Churchill's Pub. The landmark live-music venue in Little Haiti remains entangled in an escalating dispute between its landlord, Mallory Kauderer, and its operations manager, Franklin Dale.
Churchill's liquor license was suspended by the state last month at Kauderer's behest, after he learned that the venue had reopened for business on weekends in January.
Subsequently, on March 17, Dale was arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge after he allegedly assaulted a man who was accompanying an engineer whom Kauderer had sent to Churchill's to survey the property.
