As a result of an anti-social incident that took place at Docksider Pub & Restaurant last weekend, the Bermuda Police Service has used the power under the Liquor Licence Act, Section 51A to close this establishment from Friday January 25th at 10pm until Saturday January 26th at 10pm.

It is imperative that liquor licenced premises take ‘social responsibility’ for the safety of their patrons and the conduct of those persons who threaten that safety, which has a profound effect on the community that they are a part of and Bermuda as a whole.

The Bermuda Police Service will be responding to any anti-social behaviour linked to liquor licenced premises with all of our law enforcement options, which includes but is not limited to, the temporary closure of offending properties. 

Liquor licenced premises must ensure that the anti-social behaviour of a few does not affect the responsible socialising of the many responsible patrons.
