Chill Wine Bar in Tettenhall is owned by former Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Mo Camara.
After it was discovered that the wine bar owned by a former Wolves player was serving alcohol after hours, the license was suspended.
The bar, which opened in the village’s High Street in 2017, will have its licence suspended for a month after a ruling by Wolverhampton councillors on July 31.
The hearing’s chair, Councillor Zee Russell, stated that given the major breaches, the council could not let Mr. Camara go “scot-free.” The attorney for Mr. Camara, Lisa Richardson-Lewty, stated that the after-hours openings were “wholly unacceptable” and that there were “no excuses.”
Wolverhampton Council license officers had demanded that Mr. Camara be removed from his position as the bar’s supervisor and that the license be placed on temporary suspension for a maximum of three months. Mr. Camara had made “poor management decisions,” according to Mrs. Richardson-Lewty, and the wine bar was now hiring a supervisor who was “established and knowledgeable,” a decision that was “considered and not just a name on a piece of paper.”
