Green’s Tavern restaurant co-owner Josh Tedder addresses the Flowery Branch City Council during a hearing to decide whether the restaurant’s alcoholic beverage license should be revoked.
Green’s Tavern in Flowery Branch won’t be able to serve alcoholic beverages for 6 weeks, pending an appeal, if the restaurant decides to file one, in Hall County Superior Court. Flowery Branch City Council voted 3-0 for the suspension Thursday night after a 3-hour hearing in which the restaurant was accused of serving drinks to already drunken patrons and employees were serving without pouring permits or alcohol awareness training certificates. The patrons left the restaurant, which is off Hog Mountain Road south of Spout Springs Road, after being served and promptly caused a head-on collision with another vehicle, according to testimony at the hearing.
