LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â Fayette Circuit Court ruled Thursday that a civil case filed by the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department be dismissed against Brewed coffee shop in Lexington.
The establishment became the center of controversy on Nov. 24 when the LFCHD filed a lawsuit against the restaurant and owner Andrew Cooperrider for refusing to follow Gov. Andy Beshear s order to stop indoor dining to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
A judge granted a temporary restraining order against Brewed, but despite the order, Cooperrider refused to close indoor dining. According to testimony, Cooperrider said they were operating their dining room like a patio since they had their garage door partially open.
