Virtual Hearing Held For Lakeville Bar That Defied Governor’s Order, 113p 12/22/20

A virtual hearing was held Tuesday morning for a Lakeville bar that opened last week in defiance of Gov. Tim Walz’s executive order halting indoor dining.

Last Wednesday, Alibi Drinkery was packed with customers standing shoulder-to-shoulder, blatantly in defiance of the governor’s order in response to a surge in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths.

At the virtual hearing Tuesday morning, it was learned that attorney Michael Padden, who is representing the bar’s co-owner, Lisa Zarza, filed a brief in the case. Judge Jerome Abrams said he had not yet had time to read the brief, but said the state could reply as soon as Tuesday evening.

Alibi Drinkery is currently closed and is following the restraining order. It was one of a number of restaurants and bars that Ellison sued for defying the governor’s executive order. The establishments moved to open last week after it was learned the restrictions would be expended until Jan. 11.

Another hearing on Alibi Drinkery is slated for Wednesday morning.


Surprising - the Havens Garden owner (Larvita McFarquhar) visited Alibi's and their owner (Lisa Zarza), video recorded a big rah rah of defiance on Saturday (the link below works, just click the first part of it).

The blonde lady with the long ponytail, Lisa Zarza, is the owner of Alibi's. The black lady with the gray cap is Larvita McFarquhar, the owner of Haven's Garden.

So am surprised the owner of Alibi's folded like a cheap suit. After all that endless blather about FREEDOM and THIS IS AMERICA and THE CONSTITUTION and yada. (not in this particular video, but in others).

12/22 10a posting On the advice of counsel in regards to our court appearance today, we will be closed today. Please check back tomorrow. Thank you for all your love, support and prayers. Please keep us in your prayers as we go to court at 10am. For updates, follow wcco.

Gee, it only takes a moment to write and post a couple of sentences, perhaps with a link.

Haven's Garden is still open as of Dec 22. UPDATE: is open as of 1148 am Dec 23. and will be Monday thru Friday indefinitely, including this Christmas week. Because FREEDOM. And nobody is forcing you to come, so if you're afraid, stay in your mother's basement (according to various posters on the FB page, in fairness not her, she hasn't said anything like that. But anyway no thought about who the people who do go to super-spreader events like this might spread the disease to in the community)

I added more photos to the OP:

More photos made at the same time (well worth the click). I have to laugh at some media reports that "many not wearing a mask". NONE are.
