Bar Alert: Edgewater Update

See the original post here.
I spoke with a person familiar with The Edgewater Lounge situation. I was told the restaurant and bar were inspected by the City and given two weeks to shape up or face closure. They were given a number of small violations to fix. When the City returned the next week many were fixed and I was told the City found more violations.
Unfortunately, the City being so anxious to take tax dollars has not updated their inspection website since last summer so I have no way of confirming what I was told. I am taking this story with a grain of salt until I can confirm this.
There is a sign saying they are closed for maintenance and apologizing for the inconvenience. I am holding out hope the story above is wrong. I doubt I will ever go back if they can not run a clean ship. Crossing my fingers that there is not a disgusting explanation.
More information to come when I can get the office Health Department explanation.
