NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Metro Public Health Department, along with Metro Police, issued a closure order to Full Throttle Bar and Grill on Sunday for violation of one of Mayor John Cooper’s orders.
The Health Department says, as a limited-service restaurant, Full Throttle was supposed to remain closed until July 31. City health officials say they visited the restaurant on Friday and gave management a warning. Officials say when management told them they had no plans to close, the city asked a judge to write a closure order.
In a Facebook post, Full Throttle says they have complied with health guidelines. They also included a video of city officials delivering the closure order.
The owner of Full Throttle Bar and Grill is due in court on Wednesday.
