SEASIDE — Dundee’s Bar & Grill received a violation notice from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission after an employee worked for almost a year without a valid service permit.

The Broadway restaurant will have the option of a nine-day suspension or a $1,485 fine after reaching a settlement.

According to Christie Scott, an alcohol program spokeswoman with the commission, permitting an employee to sell or serve alcohol or supervise those who do without a valid alcohol service permit is “one of the more common violations.”

Scott said it is also one of the easier ones to avoid by making sure all employees take an alcohol server education course and apply for an alcohol server permit.
