The former Papa Gino's on Merrill Road closed after nearly a half-century in business. The location will reopen as a Mexican restaurant. PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Two new.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. Methuselah Bar and Lounge is being fined $1,000 for two COVID-19 violations and the City Council voted to refer the tavern to the Licensing Board for a show cause hearing over multiple complaints submitted to the Board of Health. Owner Yuki Cohen, also a councilor at large, told The Berkshire Eagle she will contest the fines. Cohen insists she has not violated regulations put in place to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus and said she is receiving hate mail claiming the tavern is the source of the recent outbreak in Pittsfield. Methuselah was named as one of several locations to which positive cases were traced; Cohen had voluntarily closed for two weeks because of the COVID-19 exposure.
