A longtime Windsor restaurant and bar owner faces charges she allowed a film crew to shoot an X-rated video of women posing on a backroom pool table at her business.
The Colorado Department of Revenue’s liquor license division today will inform Duke of Windsor proprietor Cathy Best that her liquor license could be suspended for the June 25 incident. Best can either start negotiating with officials about a length of suspension or plead her case in a hearing, said Diane Reimer, spokeswoman for the liquor license division. Best, who has owned the Duke of Windsor for 18 years, said Wednesday she will probably talk with officials about how to proceed.
“I expect I will sit down and work it out with them,” she said.
Best said she had no idea anyone was shooting a pornographic film the night she was working the bar. “It was a room clear in the back, and it is cut off visually from the main bar,” she said. “We were serving 400 people that night.”
She said the crew that shot the video told her they were working on a documentary about the Catholic School Girl Benefit Poker Run, a motorcycle event sponsored by a club called the U.M.F of America. The activity in the bar is included in a DVD now available on the Internet, officials said.
