But the Boston Licensing Board voted to roll the Blue Hill Avenue bar's closing time back to midnight - and could still revoke its license permanently if police prove the alleged underage shooter in a violent incident outside the bar early Friday was inside the bar moments earlier.
Packy Connors' supporters showing the licensing board they want the bar to stay open.
Boston Police officials told the licensing board this morning they have at least one witness who would place Charkeem Hyatt, 19, of Dorchester, inside the bar before it closed. They say he had words with somebody there and that he allegedly gunned down a man with whom he had a beef and three women who simply got in his way.

The Boston Licensing Board decided today to take no action against the Blue Hill Avenue bar for two serious incidents in recent months, including a melee that shut down Blue Hill Avenue.
At a hearing yesterday, the bar argued it had nothing to do with either incident, both of which occurred on the street outside the bar. Police said bar patrons contributed to the melee as they poured out at closing time to watch what started as a fight between two women down the street and ended with three stabbings and four arrests.
The board did issue a warning to the bar for an incident in which a man left with a cup of beer tucked under his armpit. At yesterday's hearing, board Chairman Daniel Pokaski said that while he realized there's only so much the bar can do to stop people who hide drinks under their clothes, managers and bouncers still need to be vigilant. He jokingly suggested staffers make exiting customers "do the chicken dance" as they leave to shake out any hidden drinks.

According to its owners, that would be Packy Connors, 205 Blue Hill Ave., which today found itself before the Boston Licensing Board - again - for three more alleged infractions, from a guy walking out of the joint with a cup of beer to the involvement of its patrons in an all-out melee that shut down Blue Hill Avenue as the cops tried to restore order. Oh, yeah, and five to six gunshots fired in its vicinity one night.
