Sign at entrance indicates bar is closed, will reopen in February under new management.

The Rock Bar & Grill in downtown Plymouth is now closed, according to a sign posted at the front entrance of the building. "We will reopen in February 2013 under new management," the sign read.

Plymouth ROC Due Before Liquor Review Committee Again

Racy advertisement raises questions about business' attempt to offer family friendly atmosphere.

The Plymouth ROC bar is again due in front of the Plymouth City Commission Liquor Review Committee after a racy advertisement for the business appeared to contradict the "family friendly atmosphere" promise to the city, according to an email by Plymouth Mayor Dan Dwyer. The restaurant previously appeared before the committee on June 18 after several reports of violations and mismangement of the business. At the hearing, the city recommended the business keep its liquor license, provided it continues taking corrective action to avoid serving underage patrons or committing other violations. Dwyer told the Plymouth ROC's attorney Keith Kecskes in June that by using wristbands and stamps, as promised, the business appears more as a nightclub, …
