Wednesday the Minnesota Daily published a story reporting local bar and eatery Stub and Herbs had failed a compliance check for the fourth time in five months and was facing large fines and mandatory stipulations by the city of Minneapolis.
After attending a mandatory hearing by the city on Friday, the Star Tribune reported the reprimands by the city.
in addition to posting signs about the company's alcohol policy, Stub and Herbs will pay $6,500 in fines and must close three separate days before the end of the year.
According to the Daily the sting happened during the third football game this year; the new stadium is located several blocks from the restaurant.
But the Star Tribune also reported that the sting doesn't appear to have hurt business: "At the bar Friday, happy hour was bustling. Tony Thomas, 39, was joined by a friend who had been a patron since the 1970s. Thomas wondered whether bartenders who served underage customers made mistakes because the bar was busy. The violations won't stop him from coming to the bar, he said, but he might have some concerns if minors were served six months from now."
Another patron said he would still be celebrating his birthday there this weekend.
