The city license commission acted to revoke the license after the bar had been the subject of recent complaints by both the police and fire departments.
WESTFIELD — The city License Commission voted this week to revoke the license for an Elm Street bar that had apparently been the subject of recent complaints by both the police and fire departments.
The commission voted on Wednesday night at a special meeting to permanently take away the license for Tommy D’s bar at 250-252 Elm St.
“It is the intent of the commission to revoke their license permanently,” said Westfield Director of Licensing Denise Carey.
The bar is owned by Buck Pond Enterprises of Westfield, a corporation that lists Gaetano A. Denardo as president and treasurer, according to the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth’s office.
Denardo resides in Westfield. He could not immediately be reached for comment.
The Westfield News* reported two of the complaints against the bar involved disturbances with customers that spilled into the street and had to be broken up by the police.
In a third incident, firefighters responded to a fire alarm sounding to find the smoke detectors had been activated by someone bringing a motorcycle inside the bar to gun the engine and spin the tires.
The bar had previously been reprimanded by the commission in 2006 for a large fight involving more than 100 people that required several police and state troopers to break up. The commission ordered it to close earlier on Friday and Saturday nights for a year.
