The state on Tuesday suspended the liquor license of a Bristol sports bar found in violation of public health rules put in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Agents from the Bristol-Burlington Health District visited Legends Sports Bar after 10 p.m. on Friday and found 45 patrons within the establishment, some drinking at the bar without consuming food and others playing pool. Under an executive order issued by Gov. Ned Lamont, restaurants and bars must close by 10 p.m. and must serve food to patrons consuming alcohol.

“We expect liquor establishments in our state to take public health and safety seriously,” said Michelle H.
