A judge has held that there was "no alternative" but to refuse to grant the Berlin D2 bar the renewal of its operating licences due to a “boozy brunch” that went viral on social media.

Footage of punters and staff flouting Covid-19 regulations guidelines was shared online after the event on August 15 last.
