4 Ybor City bars may lose liquor license for allowing patrons to ignore mask mandate
Elizabeth Fry reports
YBOR CITY, Fla. - The city of Tampa has made it clear: Inside a business, you must wear a mask, except if you re actively eating or drinking. However, in Ybor City, they say not everyone is following the rules. We found that there are approximately 10 establishments that have ignored the warnings and ignored the first citation and ignored the second citation, said Gina Grimes, an attorney for the city of Tampa.
Monday morning, Purple Heart Bar Lounge and Grill, Seventh & Grove, The Ritz Ybor and Club Prana will all make their case as Tampa City Council decides their fate. The four bars are in jeopardy of having their liquor license suspended or even revoked, as the city said they have failed to enforce the mask ordinance among their patrons despite several warnings.
