At a public hearing Wednesday, the commission released the results of a lengthy investigation that detailed how the distributor, Craft Beer Guild LLC, routinely paid five major Boston restaurant and bar owners $1,000 to $2,000 for each “dedicated” beer tap at their bars, with the payments totaling tens of thousands of dollars a year for several of the companies.
Earlier Wednesday, the agency cited five bars with violating pay-to-play regulations:
■ Jerry Remy’s Sports Bar & Grill, in the Seaport, owned by Cronin Group
■ Estelle’s, a South End bar owned by Wilcox Group
■ Gather, in the Seaport, owned by Briar Group
■ Game On Fenway, a bar near Fenway Park owned by Lyons Group
■ Coogan’s, in the Financial District and owned by Glynn Hospitality Group.
