BRAINTREE – Dave & Buster's at South Shore Plaza has been given a two-day liquor license suspension after the town's license board found the establishment guilty of serving intoxicated patrons.
Two customers were taken into protective custody in the incident. Police said their blood alcohol content was still above the legal presumption for intoxication hours later, according to testimony at Tuesday's board hearing.
Braintree police officer Brendan McLaughlin, the board's licensing agent, was working a paid detail at the establishment March 5 when a customer called his attention to a patron at the bar who appeared to be drunk. McLaughlin investigated and saw the customer nearly fall over. A second member of the group tried to intervene, and also showed signs of intoxication.
A check of the group's bar tab showed they had been served 27 drinks in a 90-minute period, including 22-ounce beers and shots of hard liquor. The group had also been drinking at a home before they went to Dave & Buster's, he said. The two men were taken into protective custody.
McLaughlin said one of the men turned down a shot of liquor and the bartender set it aside and served it to him later, and one of the men did not have identification on him.
