Inspections from the Jefferson City Environmental Health Department visited more than three dozen eateries in January.

Here's a look at all of the January inspection reports.

One of the eateries that had two visits from the health department was J. Pfenny's Sports Grill and Pub.

The sports bar on High Street in Jefferson was handed a total of seven core, or non-critical violations, and one priority violation during the inspections.
