SOUTH PARIS The owners of a Bethel bar and restaurant that gained national notoriety for flouting Gov. Janet Mills’ emergency order restricting businesses over COVID-19 concerns are appealing the state’s action blocking renewal of their license and seeking an emergency ruling from the court.

A judge heard arguments on whether to keep their Bethel restaurant closed and whether it should lose its liquor license.
