SAN JOSE — A Cambrian neighborhood bar and grill lost its liquor license for 30 days after state investigators determined the pub sold alcohol to two San Jose teens on the same night they died in a 2013 DUI-related crash.

Thursday morning, state agents taped a “Notice of Suspension” sign on the front doors of the Nowhere Bar and Grill on Woodward Road near Union and Camden avenues. The suspension followed an investigation by the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control and an appeal by the bar and grill, according to state spokesman John Carr.

“Thirty days is a stiff penalty when you have an alcohol beverage license and that is a part of your business,” Carr said. But he also said two 19-year-old boys died after the bar illegally served them alcohol last year.

A message left for the owner of the Nowhere Bar and Grill was not immediately returned.

On Jan. 12, 2013, an employee at the bar and grill sold alcohol to Joseph Robert Sionne and Louie Carlos Flores, both of San Jose, who died later that night in a DUI crash, Carr said. The teens were driving in a 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt that careened off Interstate 880 and ran into a ditch near Gish Road.

Carr said the boys were not asked to show any identification at the bar.

Thursday afternoon, ABC agents issued a 15-day suspension for San Jose liquor store they said sold alcohol to minors. The Santa Teresa Bottle Shop, located on Santa Teresa Boulevard, will not be able to sell alcohol during that period and will be on probation for another five days following the suspension.

After receiving a complaint the store was selling liquor to people under the age of 21, agents saw employees sell to two minors, according to the ABC. The agents also cited three other minors for attempting to buy alcohol at the store.

In 2012, 47 underage people were killed in DUI-related crashes statewide, including 20 who were behind the wheel, according to the most recent statistics compiled by the California Highway Patrol.

In serious incidents where alcohol consumption by minors is a contributing factor, state ABC agents are called in to identify the source of the alcohol, Carr said. The serious incidents include traffic fatalities, major-injury accidents, sexual assaults and alcohol-poisoning or overdose.

“Any of those triggers an ABC agent to go gather facts and find out how did the alcohol get in to the hands of these young people,” Carr said.

So far this year, the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control has launched 40 such investigations, not all of which involved fatalities, Carr said.
