Some restaurants make the news for all the wrong reasons. While there’s the concept of, “no publicity is bad publicity,” that doesn’t hold water when it’s regarding poor inspection grades. For whatever reason, there are restaurants that simply do not strive for perfection like other restaurants. This is problematic as poor inspection grades can directly relate to the potential increase in foodborne illness and injuries, which is a problem for you, the consumer. For one Mesa restaurant, its second D-level grade of the year is a troubling sign.
Beast of Bourbon Bar and Grill is no stranger to less-than-fantastic inspection grades. Almost annually it received a D-level grade and then receives subsequent re-inspection visits from the health department. At this point, the restaurant does make improvements, but then almost immediately falls back into its old habits. It is a repetitive issue dating back to 2022. A routine food inspection is performed, it receives a D, and then a re-inspection is performed. In fact, Beast of Bourbon Bar and Grill hasn’t received better than a C-grade inspection since 2021.
