Baton Rouge bars and clubs will face stiffer penalties if they allow or enable underage drinking.

The Baton Rouge Alcoholic Beverage Control Board approved a set of higher fines at a meeting on Thursday.

Failure to check someone's ID now involves a $600 fine, up slightly from $500.

A bar that allows underage drinking on its premises could be fined $750 per incident, up from $500.

More than one violation could land the bar owner in front of the board to explain himself, with failure to show involving further penalties.
