The commission says it has also issued a notice of proposal to revoke the bar’s liquor licence.
The regulator says the Liquor Licence and Control Act states that people are not eligible for a liquor licence when there are reasonable grounds to believe they won’t do business according to the law and with integrity and honesty.
It says the court ruling in the sex assault case of Robert O’Brien is enough evidence to back up those concerns.
The commission says businesses who are served with a suspension order or a notice of proposal to revoke a licence have the right to appeal within 15 days.
