Downtown Lake Worth

Comment Up

BEVERAGE VIOLATION-- 14052876-- 400 BLOCK LAKE AVE-- Palm Beach County Sheriff-- 3/23/2014 11:59:00 AM (What can you expect with every Tom, Dick and Harry having a beer/wine and/or liquor license?)

ASSAULT--14053018--000 BLOCK LAKE AVE--Palm Beach County Sheriff--3/23/2014 6:53:00 PM



According to our Ordinance--No person shall sell, deliver, consume or permit the sale, delivery, service or consumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises except for the following hours where a business holds a legal alcohol license:
(a) The hours of sale of alcoholic beverages of more than one (1) percent of alcohol by weight shall be:
 (1) 12:00 a.m. (midnight) to 2:00 a.m., and 7:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
 (2) 12:00 a.m. (midnight) to 2:00 a.m., and 12:00 p.m. (Noon) to 11:59 p.m., Sunday.
Who knows?  That might have changed by now.

Back in December 2011, Greg Rice, who was the vice chairman of the executive board for the Greater Lake Worth Chamber of Commerce, said allowing downtown restaurants to serve alcohol without getting a distance waiver will help make it easier to attract new restaurants downtown. City Commissioner Andy Amoroso,  a downtown merchant, said removing the need for waivers for downtown restaurants will help make the area more attractive.

As this is a business driven commission, restaurants don't need waivers--they now all get them automatically no  longer having to come before the city commission.  This dais gave that responsibility away to the Planning & Zoning and Historical Preservation Boards.

Nothing tells it better than pictures. Thanks for noticing truth when you see it.

I'm not at all in favor of blue laws, its improper entanglement of government and religion. If its your religion not to drink alcohol on Sunday morning, than don't drink, but don't bother the rest of us who enjoy a mimosa at Sunday brunch. if this is the current ordinance it SHOULD be changed.
