MADISON, Wis. — A downtown Madison bar faces nearly 100 charges of allowing underage patrons to consume alcohol following an incident earlier this year.
Police made contact with 143 people at City Bar on State Street the night of Sept. 1 while conducting “proactive enforcement” of liquor laws. Of those, only six patrons were over the age of 21.
All of the people named in the 93 counts against City Bar were between 18-20 years old, according to the complaint.

The complaint filed against the establishment alleged that the fake IDs police seized that night “were of such quality that careful examination would have revealed them to be fake IDs.” The complaint also claimed some of the patrons had multiple fake IDs.
City Bar has until Dec. 28 to either accept the penalties or decide to challenge the charges.
