Cops raid TGI Fridays, Applebee's, Ruby Tuesday & other NJ bars for selling cheap alcohol as 'top shelf'

TGI Fridays, you give bars a bad name, a bad name…

TGI Fridays

“State authorities this morning raided 29 bars and restaurants across New Jersey on suspicion that they have been re-filling empty bottles of their most expensive liquors with cheaper alcohol.

Dubbed “Operation Swill,” the year-long investigation found the establishments fooled customers so they could charge higher prices and bolster their profits, according to a statement released by the state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.” [NJ.COM]
