City regulators say they plan to order the Boston Red Sox to stop offering an open bar as part of a $1,000-and-up packages for some of Fenway Park's most coveted seats.
Daniel F. Pokaski, chairman of the Boston Licensing Board, said the team will be told to "cease and desist" the practice but apparently will not face further sanctions, unlike other bars and restaurants that have temporarily lost their licenses for similar infractions of the state's 25-year ban on happy hours and open bars.
