Amityville Bar Accused Of Violating Coronavirus Rules Again

AMITYVILLE, NY — An Amityville bar's liquor license was suspended after state officials on Wednesday said they found more coronavirus rule violations.

On Feb. 5, state task force investigators visited Liam's Landing on South Ketcham Avenue and said they saw three workers with masks around their chins, customers packed inside not social distancing, and customers without masks.

The bar has been accused of coronavirus violations before. On Nov. 23, Dec. 22 and Jan. 9, investigators said they found employees not wearing masks. Also on Jan. 9, they said they found 40 patrons inside not social distancing.

"We're still in the middle of a global pandemic, and the task force will continue taking action as New Yorker's have sacrificed too much and come too far to allow a handful of bad actors to derail our progress," New York State Liquor Authority Chair Vincent Bradley said in a statement.
