#MobWives Big Ang’s ‘Drunken Monkey’ SHUT DOWN by the state because she’s a convicted felon! http://t.co/gfZyKCwsEp pic.twitter.com/FyHJKuu81Y — All About The Tea (@AllAboutTheTea_) March 18, 2015
This isn’t the only trouble Big Ang has experienced lately. It was recently reported that the Drunken Monkey Bar, often seen on the show, has been temporarily shut down. The Staten Island bar was shut down by the State Liquor Authority due to Big Ang’s “illicit ownership interest in the place.”
On The Drunken Monkey’s Facebook page, a statement read, “On behalf of all of us from the DRUNKEN MONKEY, we want to thank all of our patrons, friends and family for the love and support over the years. Although we cannot comment on the closure of the establishment, you can always reach us via this Facebook page.”
The note continued, “The DRUNKEY MONKEY wasn’t just a bar, it was a family and a home for many. It wasn’t just a location, it was a lifestyle. We were the first to extend a helping hand and will continue to do so from Facebook and other social media. With that being said, the doors on Forest Avenue may be closed but our HEARTS will always remain OPEN to you!”
Although Big Ang’s cousin held the liquor license, Big Ang had authority, which isn’t allowed given that she’s a convicted felon. Couple that with the fact that Big Ang never applied for a liquor license to begin with and you have a few big violations.
The Drunken Monkey’s liquor license was canceled on February 10.
