The council decision means Alibi at Froggy Bottoms Owner Lisa Monet Zarza will not be able to legally serve alcohol at her establishment.
Councilors Suzie Nakasian and George Zuccolotto and Mayor Rhonda Pownell voted to grant Zarza a license until an administrative law judge decides whether a five-year liquor license revocation she faces at her Alibi location in Lakeville will stand.
The decision came after Northfield Police Chief Mark Elliott recommended not renewing the Northfield license based in part on Zarzaâs refusal to comply with a statewide mandated closure of in-person dining and alcohol last winter at her Lakeville establishment during a statewide outbreak of COVID-19 cases.
