Boston Restaurant Owner Says "Entitled" Patriots Players Held After-Hours Party that Drew Police Response

Estella Restaurant received a one-day license suspension with two days held in abeyance after violations including after-hours alcohol use, unauthorized entertainment, and indoor smoking.

  • On Thursday, the Boston Licensing Board voted to suspend Estella Restaurant's liquor license for one day after an after-hours party involving unnamed New England Patriots players in the basement.
  • The owner told the board that Patriots players wanted to eat first and brought security, hookahs, DJs, dancers, and alcohol to the Milton gathering.
  • Officers wrote that police found about 30 patrons, at least six large hookahs, a DJ, and three nude or partially nude women in the basement of Estella Restaurant.
  • The board found violations for consumption after hours, indoor smoking, and unauthorized adult entertainment, while chair Kathleen Joyce said 'There are no exceptions in our entertainment rules for celebrities'.
  • Brandao said he is considering a lawsuit against unnamed Patriots players for leaving without paying, the Patriots have not responded to comment requests, and Estella is conducting an internal review after a prior violation.
