PARADICE BLUZ REVOKED
October 21, 2007 | 12:49 PM

I am a bar owner on Maui and, unfortunately, I cannot reveal my name. I will be bothered by the LC and may be even written up for some petty violations. I have known Chris personally for over 10 years now and consider him a young, hip, trend-setter for Maui. He took nothing and turned it into something and now it’s gone due to corruption. We all feel bad for the lives that were taken. I personally know the wife of the first case, and the family of the second. When I read about it in the paper, I got on the phone to find out what the hell was going on. Chris did not answer which I’m used to, but this time around I understood why. When he finally did get back to me, and explained the cases to me, I realized that the LC was aiming for him for some reason. To let everyone know, Paradice Bluz ‘allegedly’ served the guy one god damn drink and was punished for over serving. They have records at the LC office showing the receipts of three other bars (Westin, Kimo‘s & Mooses) that served these tourists over three hundred dollars of alcohol. And now you think, ‘well if they drank so much, how did they get in to Paradice to drink more?’ Well for all the drinkers out, there remember how many bars you have been able to get into intoxicated but have been able to pull yourself together long enough to fool the bouncer and bartender to get another drink. And for all you non-drinkers don’t even try to understand or answer that. I am not fending for a friend at all, if you are wrong then you should pay. In this case the wrong person is paying . I hope the employees and owners of the other establishments involved feel bad for lying and letting this young entrepreneur, and possibly a friend of yours, lose his lively hood and dream. Shame on all of you and you know karma will kick all of you in the ass..

p.s

I have sat at almost all the bars in this town obviously intoxicated and have never been cut off by a bartender .
