Morreale gets crossways with the City again

August 23, 2012

Jesse Morreale, owner of the beleaguered El Diablo restaurant at First and Broadway that was temporarily shut down by the City of Denver, is crossways with the city again.

This time the Department of Excise and Licenses is investigating RockBar, Morreale’s ’70s joint at 3015 E. Colfax Ave. for allegedly operating an outdoor patio “in violation of its temporary modification permit issued in September 2011, and in violation of its February 2011 Stipluation regarding the suspension of its hotel and restaurant liquor license for the unlawful sale of an alcohol beverage to an underage person,” according to the Second Amended Order for Hearing.

The hearing on the renewal of RockBar’s dance cabaret license is set for 6 p.m. Sept. 19 at the Department of Excise and Licenses, Dept. 206, 201 W. Colfax Ave.

Morreale couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
