This is done to comply with the city’s alcohol ordinance allowing no patrons under the age of 21 inside a liquor-licensed premise. However, the routine checking of identifi- cation at the door is not fool proof, as Moth- er’s, 506 Monroe Ave., found out on Febru- ary 17. During a private event, the Charleston Po- lice Department completed an alcohol com- pliance check and six patrons in the bar could not show proof they were of age to be pres- ent in the bar. During the subsequent hearing, a cam- era showed the underage patrons entered the premise after presenting false identifica- tion and the charges against Mother’s were dropped. However, false identifications being used at local bars is still an issue.
