ICYMI: Robke's In Northport Loses Liquor License

NORTHPORT, NY —Robke's, the Italian restaurant in Northport that draws long waits for its no reservation, cash-only dining, had its liquor license revoked this week after repeated violations of COVID-19 regulations. The restaurant was cited on Dec. 9 for staff not wearing face masks, and a lack of physical distancing between tables and patrons at the bar.

Last Saturday, an inspector from the New York State liquor authority witnessed a crowded bar area, food being served after 10 p.m. and tables not distanced at least 6 feet apart.

Now the restaurant will have to settle the fine with the liquor authority before being able to serve alcohol again.
