The Berlin D2 bar has been refused a licence to operate.

A judge says that there was "no alternative" but to refuse the renewal of its operating licences due to a "boozy brunch" that went viral on social media.

Footage of punters and staff flouting covid regulations were posted online after the event on August 15th.

One masked staff member danced on the bar as he poured shots into dancing customers’ mouths during the controversial bar brunch.

"30 Seconds Of Madness"

Delivering her ruling today, Judge Marie Quirke ruled that it was necessary to refuse the renewal of the bar's restaurant, theatre, dance, public music and singing licences.

Judge Quirke gave a scathing criticism of the running of the venue.

She held that the event was clearly in breach of public health guidelines necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic, and described the conduct as neglectful, irresponsible and disorderly.

The event was described afterwards as 30 seconds of madness.
