Troubled pub shut for year
ROANE COUNTY, Tenn. – Members of the Roane County Beer Board recently voted unanimously in special session to yank the permit for the Grill & Pub, located outside Harriman on U.S. Highway 27, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel.
The revocation, which went into effect immediately, is for one year.
The action came after an employee sold a beer to an underage undercover operative Jan. 24, according to court records. Sheriff Jack Stockton subsequently recommended that the tavern’s license be revoked.
Deputies have responded to numerous complaints at the tavern, formerly the Big Orange Grill & Pub.
In July 2011, a 46-year-old man died after another patron hit him on the head during a fuss over a fender-bender in the bar’s parking lot.
