It amazes me you report on all the bars and liquor stores that contribute to minors, how ever the police don't do anything when you report teens drinking in someones house. I know this for a fact, because I have called and reported drunk minors and the police's comment is it's not important. These are the same minors that end up driving their cars and hurting others and themselves. Don't get me wrong the police TRY to do a good job, but there are things they severly fall short on.

Glad to see some cracking down going on, although I was wondering how old this report was since Our Bar closed over 3 months ago. What about the other 3 establishments that were visited and did not serve the minor? Shouldn't they get some sort of recognition for doing their jobs and not selling to minors?

Sweet! What a great place to be a teenager! Now your liquor is as easy to get as your drugs! Take that Mr. Establishment (total sarcasm haters)!

You make it sound like this happened last night or even within a month!! Truth is Im the bartender @ Porkys and I never gave anyone under 21 a beer!!!!

Good reporting, but a little misleading. Porky's was stung in July, the video posted was from July and drastic measures have been taken since and before then to stop underage drinking. A bar or a club have nothing to gain from selling to a minor. I am not disputing this report, but the way it was presented is a little shady. I noticed you used Oscar's as well but failed to report that the sting was un-successful.
