Champaign mayor orders second bar closed

CHAMPAIGN – A campustown bar that voluntarily raised its entry age Friday to 21 years old for "Unofficial St. Patrick's Day" was closed by officials early Saturday for violating a special order, and a Champaign bar was closed by the state liquor commission.

Champaign Mayor Jerry Schweighart said Saturday evening that Kam's, 618 E. Daniel St., C, was shut down at about midnight for serving shots of hard liquor, which were prohibited under a special order of the mayor, who also serves as liquor commissioner.
