Alcohol Control Commission Requests Explanation From McCrobie’s For Girls Gone Wild Party, Recommends 3-Day Suspension For Peach Palace
Rome’s Alcohol Control Commission (ACC) has asked that Brent McCrobie, owner of McCrobie’s on Broad Street, appear before next month’s meeting to explain why the Girls Gone Wild (GGW) party was held on Saturday after the ACC denied a permit for the event.
“Brent was at tonight’s meeting,” Rome City Commissioner Jamie Doss said. “Our decision was to have him explain why he went along with the Girls Gone Wild event.”
Doss is also a member of the ACC.
“We didn’t take any action, but he needs to be totally honest with the ACC,” he said.
He also added that the Rome Police Department reported that there were no problems at the downtown establishment on Saturday night.
On September 28, the ACC denied a special event permit to McCrobie’s for the GGW party, but legal counsel for the nightclub contended a special permit was not necessary for the widely-publicized event.
During Monday night’s meeting, the ACC also decided to recommend to the Rome City Commission that Peach Palace be given a three-day suspension of its Entertainment License for violating the Noise Ordinance.
That matter will go before the city commission in November.
Peach Palace and ten other establishments will also receive Letters of Warning for violations of the Alcohol Service Permit.
Those other establishments are Old Havana; Bottle and Basket; Buffalo’s; Harvest Moon; Chili’s; Red Lobster; Gondolier’s; Sports Page; East Rome Beverage Center; and Rome Liquor and Tobacco.
Rome’s Alcohol Control Commission meets again on Monday, Nov. 23.
The Rome City Commission meets again on Monday, Nov. 2.
