A Montgomery bar that had its business license suspended in December amid reports of violence and other problems has won the right to reopen after collaborating with Montgomery Police and promising changes.
The Montgomery City Council voted Tuesday to reinstate the license for Yu Bar & Grill at 163 East Blvd., and sibling owners Yumeitrius Manuel and Yumarcus Manuel said they plan to open again within the next 30 days.
The council originally suspended their business license nearly six months ago. Police at that time showed the council videos of a fight inside the bar and alleged marijuana use in a breezeway, then detailed a list of police calls ranging from complaints of crowding and theft in the parking lot, to a Dec. 13 attempted murder.
