The Block Sports Bar has been shut down by Cathedral City officials.
The bar, which has been the site of two recent shootings, was closed Thursday, reports The Desert Sun. A city spokesman told the newspaper the bar’s business license lapsed in April and the owners did not try to renew it.
The Block can re-open, but will have to apply as a new business – which will require multiple reviews by local and public safety officials.
In March, two men were shot in the bar’s parking lot. Just a few weeks ago, a man was shot twice inside the bar. In June of 2016, three men attacked a man in the bar’s parking lot, leaving him in coma which would end up proving fatal.
There was no comment from anyone associated with the bar.
