What this means

The Board approved a group of entertainment, raffle, and one-day alcohol applications without changes. It also approved a late-night entertainment request for Live PVD, but tabled a separate soft-closing permit request for 60 days while Rhode Island’s 3:00 a.m. soft-closing law is reviewed. Three other cases ended in enforcement actions: Capital Grille received a warning, Brown Bee Coffee received a warning, and Twelve 21/Nara Lounge was fined $1,000 with another $1,000 suspended for 90 days if no similar violation occurs.
