A 10-day liquor licence suspension for Hemingway Waterfront Public House ended Monday.

A Marine Drive pub had its liquor licence suspended for 10 days for allowing minors on its premises.

The penalty to the Hemingway Waterfront Public House – at 14995 Marine Dr. – was in response to a Sept. 7 infraction. It took effect March 21 and was to remain in place through March 30, according to a spokesperson with the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (Ministry of Justice).

It marks the establishment's second contravention of licensing rules in the past year.

In November, a $5,000 fine was levied in connection with permitting a minor to enter or be on the premises in July.

In both cases, the licensee agreed to the punishment and waived an adjudicated enforcement hearing, the spokesperson said.
