A full hearing will take place next month.
Gardaí have formally objected to the Berlin Bar in Dublin getting its licence renewed.
Last month, a video went viral of a masked staff member of the Berlin Bar on Dame Street Dublin pouring shots into the mouths of dancing customers.
The event had been advertised as ‘a very boozy baked brunch with your buds’.
The bar’s manager described the video at the time as ‘20 seconds of madness ‘and that ‘it didn’t reflect what went on that day.’
Today gardai went to the Dublin District Court and formally objected to the Berlin Bar retaining its licence.
A garda sergeant told the Judge it was on the basis of non-compliance with covid regulations.
A full hearing will take place next month.
