The sign outside Cavanaugh's restaurant which reads "Fine Food and Spirits" is wrong -- at least for the week. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board suspended the popular eatery and bar's liquor license from last Monday through this Sunday as a result of several violations of state law in 1999. According to Liquor Control Board spokeswoman Molly McGowan, Cav's -- located at 117 S. 39th Street -- was cited on separate occasions for possessing "fortified, adulterated or contaminated liquor," unlawfully possessing liquor purchased from a source other than a Pennsylvania state liquor store and refilling liquor bottles. The restaurant was also fined $1,500. The punishments were determined during a hearing held in August. The manager of Cav's was not available for comment last night.
