UPDATE: Moe's & Joe's scored an 87/B during a reinspection Tuesday. Points were docked for not providing the original Certified Food Protection Manager documentation and not cooking a chicken breast to the correct temperature, according to the report.

ORIGINAL STORY (published June 28): An Atlanta tavern failed a recent health inspection, Fulton County records show.

Moe's & Joe's Tavern in Virginia-Highland scored a 55/U following the Monday evaluation; 69 and below is considered failing. Its two prior scores, from May, were both Cs.

According to the report, there was "heavy fly activity” during the inspection.

Officials also reported heavy grease buildup on equipment and a black mold-like substance on an ice machine flap.

A man who answered the phone Wednesday afternoon said a manager or owner was not immediately available for comment.

Follow-up inspections are generally completed within 10 days of the original evaluation.
