The hearing stems from a complaint that took place around 3:40 a.m. May 22 at Belluomini’s Grill and Spirits, 954 S. Madison St., Simpson said.
“It was alleged that there were patrons in the bar and there was liquor still being served,” he said.

Under village liquor codes, no open alcohol can be present 30 minutes after closing. Belluomini’s closes at 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. In addition, the complaint indicates the outside doors were locked when there were still patrons inside the establishment.
“These are alleged to have occurred, and that’s what the hearing is for,” Simpson said.
Owner Paul Belluomini said Wednesday afternoon that his attorney told him the hearing was continued. Belluomini had no further comment at this time.
Earlier this year the establishment had its liquor license revoked for seven days and received a $1,000 fine. That order came following a guilty plea in January to a December incident involving similar violations.
