His venue — which does not serve alcohol and has a permit that allows it to stay open after Quebec’s 3 a.m. closing time — has been shuttered since the beginning of the pandemic.Adding to his frustration was seeing videos of thousands of Ricky Martin fans dancing at a recent concert at Montreal’s Bell Centre.
