Two Cottage Grove restaurants failed a compliance check last month, when servers sold alcohol to underage patrons Nov. 30.
A 44-year-old woman was cited for selling alcohol to an underage patron at Carbone’s Kitchen and Pub, 7155 Jorgensen Lane.
This is the second violation in two years for Carbone’s, meaning the restaurant and bar will receive a $1,000 fine plus a three-day license revocation.
A 24-year-old Cottage Grove woman was cited for selling alcohol to an underage patron at Applebee’s, 8380 East Point Douglas Road.
Applebee’s will be fined $500 and receive either a one-day suspension or an educational program for all employees.
The city’s public safety department does compliance checks on liquor licenses twice a year.
