OTTAWA -- The Senate Sports Tavern and Senate South will be allowed to reopen, under strict conditions, after the establishments liquor licences were suspended following an incident where an Ottawa police officer was allegedly assaulted during a COVID-19 compliance inspection. On Dec. 5, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (ACGO) announced the liquor licences of the Senate Sports Tavern at 33 Clarence Street and Senate South on Bank Street were suspended "for reasons of public interest and safety." The Registrar of the AGCO also issued notice of proposals to revoke the establishments liquor licences for an infraction of the Liquor Licence Act.
