The Cornerstone Cafe in Monticello is facing more trouble for violating the State of Minnesota s COVID-19 restrictions.
A day after the state attorney general s office filed a lawsuit against the Cornerstone Cafe for opening for the inside consumption of food, the restaurant was notified Saturday, Dec. 19 that is facing the suspension of its liquor license.
Tricambra Foods, Inc, which does business as Cornerstone Cafe & Catering, was informed by the the Minnesota Department of Public Safety s Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED) that the agency intends to suspend its liquor license for 60 days for violating Gov. Tim Walz s executive order 20-99 by serving alcohol inside the restaurant during the State s four-week dial back to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Last week, Alibi Drinkery in Lakeville became the epicenter for the debate over how far Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has gone in banning indoor dining and gathering at bars and restaurants in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Local elected officials, however, are speaking out against the decision by owner Lisa Monet Zarza, who also owns Alibi at Froggy Bottomâs in Northfield.
The Lakeville bar opened at 11 a.m. Dec. 16 in defiance of the executive order ban on selling alcohol for in-person consumption, which was extended into January by the governor later in the day. That announcement was carried on Alibiâs television sets, as people crammed into the bar to eat, drink and be merry.
