A popular restaurant in Harrisonburg is in hot water after officials say it was serving alcohol without a license.

Officials with the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority (ABC) say the Artful Dodger surrendered its alcohol license on Oct. 30 of last year. However, an investigation by Harrisonburg Police and Virginia ABC revealed the bar was still serving alcohol on Dec 30th.

"What we do is we take the initial action and then we write a report on that and follow up with ABC," said Sgt. Chris Monahan with Harrisonburg Police Department. "They can then do any administrative action if necessary."

George Clark, with the Artful Dodger, was charged with 'Restaurant Possession of Alcohol with no License." Clark appeared before a judge on Monday, and court records show the final disposition was 'guilty.'

WHSV reached out to Clark for comment, but he declined.

Meanwhile, the Artful Dodger has closed its doors for good, according to the

The Artful Dodger's doors are chained shut and there are 'closed' signs on the windows.
