Bar's license may be in jeopardy

PROVIDENCE -- The city Board of Licenses is scheduled to meet this afternoon and police want the officials to consider whether Finnegan’s Wake, a downtown bar, should remain open after a brawl early Monday morning led to five arrests and an injured police officer.

Read about the early Monday morning incident on projo.com.

The bar, at 397 Westminster St., was more than 200 people over capacity before closing Monday, according to the police.

Lt. Thomas A. Verdi, the commander of the police Narcotics and Organized Crime Bureau, which includes license enforcement, says the police will ask the board to order the bar closed until a full hearing can be held to address the bar’s alleged violations.
