License Commissioners suspended the controversial entertainment license at Antonia’s on the Beach for two weeks at their meeting on Thursday afternoon in City Hall.
Fire Inspector Dan Maniff reported to the Commission that Antonia’s had a capacity that requires a sprinkler system and, to date, they don’t have one.
Maniff and owner Wayne Cintolo said that it appears a crew will be putting in the sprinkler system within two weeks. Therefore, the Commission voted to suspend the entertainment license until that work is done. The restaurant will still be able to operate as usual.
Additionally, there was evidence given showing that bands were using too many instruments, which is a violation of the license, and that patrons were dancing, which they don’t have a license for. Both of those practices were to stop immediately.
• Red’s Place on North Shore Road was suspended for 60 days as the owner had shut it down without informing the Commission. The business is for sale, and they are to report back at the November meeting.
