The Lobster Boss Bungled the Booze

Date:

Bahrs Restaurant in Highlands, the home of The Lobster Boss and the oldest still active business in the borough at more than a century as the leading restaurant along the Bayshore, once received a liquor license suspension for serving a minor.

It was in August, 1944, when the ABC suspended the license at Bahrs for 25 days, but reduced it to 20 days after learning more details of the sale.

Bahrs entered a plea for the reduction in suspension inasmuch as the teenager had assured the bartender he was of age and his uncle fully supported and testified to that fact. However, the state found the restaurant guilty since the restaurateur had not required the teenager to make his statement in writing.
