EVERETT — Testimony will begin today in a state Liquor Control Board appeal hearing to determine whether a Snohomish tavern’s liquor license will be permanently revoked.
The state suspended the U&I Bar and Grill’s liquor license for 30 days March 6 after several violent incidents connected to the tavern. The most recent was a fight resulting in a patron’s death.
State liquor officials announced their intention to revoke the license unless tavern owner Keith Allen appealed. The tavern reopened April 5 after a temporary suspension ended.
Allen appealed, and the hearing is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. today and Thursday at the liquor board’s local office, 909 SE Everett Mall Way, Suite D480. The public hearing is before an administrative law judge.
Bothell fire Lt. Gary McAdam, 40, died from injuries he suffered in a fight Feb. 26that started inside the tavern and ended in the street.
Lake Stevens fisherman Tony Cullum, 28, is awaiting trial on a charge of first-degree manslaughter. His girlfriend, Alexandra "Ali" Love, 23, was charged with misdemeanor assault, and three others have been charged with rendering criminal assistance, a misdemeanor. Love and two of the others arrested were tavern employees.
