State liquor department officials indefinitely suspended the liquor license of Chuy’s Mesquite Broiler in Oro Valley after state officials said the restaurant was allowing diners to eat on the patio.
Chuy’s owner Christopher Evenson said he has an attorney and plans to appeal the suspension.
The suspension came after Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control received complaints of diners eating at the restaurant after the state ordered all restaurants to transition to takeout only on March 20, said Jeffery Trillo, assistant director of the state Department of Liquor’s Licensing and Administration Division.
