Miami-Dade may be rolling back the restrictions, but there s one venue where the party hasn t yet resumed: Churchill s Pub. The landmark live-music venue in Little Haiti remains entangled in an escalating dispute between its landlord, Mallory Kauderer, and its operations manager, Franklin Dale.
Churchill s liquor license was suspended by the state last month at Kauderer s behest, after he learned that the venue had reopened for business on weekends in January.
Subsequently, on March 17, Dale was arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge after he allegedly assaulted a man who was accompanying an engineer whom Kauderer had sent to Churchill s to survey the property.
