Here are some of your responses to the Rock Bar & Grill closing last week.
Plymouth-Canton Patch readers were eager to weigh in on last week's closing of the Rock Bar & Grill in downtown Plymouth. The bar's ownership had agreed to close the business' doors by Feb. 1 and find a buyer after the city threatened recommending revocation of its liquor license. Just days later, however, the bar's doors were closed with a sign indicating it would reopen in February under new ownership. Here are some Patch readers' comments about the bar's closing: Bryan Bentley: "It seems clear that ownership decided it was not worth staying open, and risking another violation, which would cost them the liquor license. This move was purely about the sacred liquor license. The receipts for 20 days were simply not worth the risk. Smart …

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. The bar was slated to close Feb. 1 after bar owner Kevin Montagano agreed to terms with the City of Plymouth to close the restaurant and seek new ownership in lieu of the city recommending revocation of its liquor license to the state's Liquor Control Commission after numerous liquor-related violations. The Plymouth City Commission voted unanimously Monday in favor of the agreement after a public hearing about the fate of the bar. Under the agreement, the bar would have to find a new owner within 90 days of Monday's public hearing in order to avoid…

Plymouth City Commission offers second public hearing tonight, could recommend revocation of liquor license.
The public has a second chance to weigh in tonight on the fate of the Rock Bar & Grill, a downtown Plymouth establishment that could face revocation of its state-issued liquor license after numerous City of Plymouth Liquor Management Ordinance violations. The public hearing will take place at the Plymouth City Commission's 7 p.m. meeting today at Plymouth City Hall. A public hearing was previously held Dec. 17, but the lawyer for the business was unable to attend. In a memo for the Dec. 17 meeting, City Manager Paul Sincock indicated recommending revocation of the business' liquor license to the State of Michigan's Liquor Control Commission "is a viable option," but acknowledged most businesses try to bring their operations "back into …

Second public hearing for downtown Plymouth bar and restaurant will take place Jan. 7, 2013.
Patrons of downtown Plymouth's Rock Bar & Grill spoke passionately Monday in support of the embattled bar and its management. The Plymouth City Commission held a public hearing Monday on recommending revocation of the bar's liquor license after a litany of alcohol-related ordinance violations. City commissioners did not come to a decision Monday, however, preferring to wait until the bar's lawyer can speak on the business' behalf at a second hearing on Jan. 7. Chelsea Cunningham, who told the City Commission she and her husband are regular patrons at the Rock Bar & Grill, said the bar upholds a professional and safe atmosphere. "They have called a cab for us many times," she said. "They make sure we get home safe." Other patrons noted …
