The Black Bear Pub Now Reopened

A Rochester bar where a man was shot and killed last month has been allowed to reopen.

The Black Bear Pub was closed after a man was killed outside.

The owners went to court last week to challenge the order.

Police say the owners and the city have worked out a compliance plan, allowing the bar to reopen.
