TAMPA One bar will face a suspension of its liquor license but others will escape sanctions after making agreements with the city of Tampa, over mask enforcement during the pandemic.
Tampa City Council voted to approve a seven-day suspension of the liquor license at Prana Ybor s Premier Nightspot, 1619 East 7th Avenue. Prana s lawyer, Luke Lirot, called the mask rules impossible to enforce. (If) code enforcement is there and someone gets up instantaneously from their seat. and removes a mask to take a drink or talk to a friend. there s just no time for anybody in management to ensure 100 percent compliance.
