ABC Orders Revocation of License of Moreno Valley Bar for Narcotics Sales, Disorderly Premises

Cerritos – The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has indefinitely suspended the license of Shark Bar in Moreno Valley, located at 24801 Sunnymead Blvd Suites C, D & H.

ABC began an investigation into illegal conduct at Shark Bar in August 2023. During the investigation, undercover agents purchased narcotics from a patron and found other violations, which led to ABC filing the accusation.

ABC’s six-count accusation included charges for the sales of cocaine by an employee, the sale of cannabis by a patron, allowing patrons to possess cannabis inside the premises, allowing the negotiations for sale of controlled substances, and keeping a disorderly house based on excessive calls for service received by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

The revocation decision is stayed for 180 days to allow the license to be transferred to a new owner and a new location. However, the license to sell alcohol at the premises will be suspended during this period, and the premises may no longer serve alcoholic beverages.
