One month after a large reported disturbance, the city’s deputy police chief told the owners of a popular restaurant and bar in central Oak Ridge that they need to monitor customers who are drinking and not serve people who have consumed too much alcohol.

The bar was granted a beer license thanks to a loophole in state laws last year, despite the fact that it is within about 300 feet of a church.
