Detroit, Flint and Battle Creek businesses have recently been suspended for violating Michigan’s latest health regulations, and their liquor licenses have been suspended.

Since September, a total of 34 companies have been revoked by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission for violating state health orders and slowing the spread of the coronavirus. Recently, three judges are awaiting a hearing by the administrative law judge, who will decide further suspension and fines.

So far, the suspension period in other restaurants and bars ranges from zero to 90 days.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, an order from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services prohibits eating in restaurants and bars. It also bans non-residential gatherings and requires masks to be worn in public buildings.

All three suspensions announced on Tuesday, January 12, were due to complaints. To file a complaint, please call 866-893-2121 or

Location: Detroit

Three officers from the Detroit Police Department filed a complaint against a large party held in Minnie at 1:27 a.m. on December 27.

They found many vehicles in the parking lot and peeked through the front windows, seeing a large group of people dancing, eating and drinking, and they were not alienated or wearing masks. The police knocked on the door, no one answered, and 10 to 15 people tried to sneak out the back door.

After the officials were let go, no one wanted to be a supervisor. Food and alcohol are on the company table.

Restaurants are not allowed to provide food or alcohol consumption in the store, cannot hold parties, and must wear masks.

Location: Flint

After receiving a complaint from the local health department, the MLCC investigator went to the "tracking" for inspection at 3 pm on January 7.

Investigators found that 12 people were eating and drinking, 9 of them were sitting in the bar-no one was wearing a mask. Researchers ordered the provision of alcoholic beverages.

An unidentified man approached the investigator and asked them how to find the place because the company was trying to hide under the radar.

Location: Battle Creek

An MLCC investigator went to Lakeview Lounge at 10:56 am on December 28 after receiving a complaint that the company was still open.

Investigators found multiple cars in the parking lot and saw a woman wearing a mask bringing a large can of food into the restaurant. A few minutes later, a man without a mask entered.

Nearly an hour later, neither of them left the building, so investigators walked into the house and found three people sitting in the bar drinking, one of whom was eating. The woman brought into the pot is looking after the bar without wearing a mask.

Two days later, another investigator came back, and the customer entered the eating place again. The investigator ordered Coors light beer and it was delivered.
