A Northern Michigan bar that has been rather vocal about its disapproval of Michigan s handling of the coronavirus pandemic is raising eyebrows once again by printing irreverent t-shirts.
The Iron Pig Smokehouse in Gaylord is celebrating St. Patrick s Day this year with t-shirts that read, Kiss Me, I m Contagious. The shirts were made available over the weekend at a St. Patrick s Day event held at another Gaylord establishment, the Ellison Place. Food was provided by the Iron Pig but alcoholic beverages were sold by Ellison Place.
The Iron Pig had its liquor license suspended in 2020 for violating protocols for bars and restaurants issued by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services during the pandemic. On December 2, the restaurant s owners were also slapped with a hefty $5,000 fine for violating the terms of Michigan three week pause to save lives order which began on November 18.
