The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario held a hearing to determine whether the issuance of the licence was not in the public interest.

The Board found that the objectors failed to establish that granting the licence would be contrary to the public interest, noting the small capacity of the café, its limited hours, and the lack of evidence connecting the café to existing community problems.

The application was approved without additional conditions.

However, the Board dismissed the allegation that the Licensee sold liquor to a person who was or appeared to be intoxicated, finding insufficient evidence that the patron appeared intoxicated when served.

The Board found insufficient evidence to establish that the patron was intoxicated while at the establishment or that the licensee permitted drunkenness or disorderly conduct, noting inconsistencies in witness testimony and delays in the police investigation.

The Board also dismissed the allegation regarding unauthorized alterations, finding the licensee took immediate steps to apply for the change when notified.

However, the Board found that the licensee violated the regulations by purchasing liquor off-licence.

Plainclothes police officers observed patrons inside the establishment with beer bottles after 2:45 a.m.

The Board dismissed the allegation of after-hours service, finding insufficient evidence that alcohol was sold or served outside prescribed hours.

However, the Board upheld the allegation that the Licensee failed to clear signs of service within 45 minutes after the end of the prescribed period, as beer bottles remained on the bar or service counter when the officers arrived.

The $300 monetary penalty was confirmed.

The Board previously ordered a 10-day suspension of the Licensee's liquor licence and requested proposed suspension dates.

The Licensee did not submit dates.

The applicant sought to add a licensed outdoor patio to its existing pub and grill.

Local residents objected, citing a history of late-night noise, disruptive patron behaviour, and harassment by the establishment's manager.

The Board found that while there were legitimate concerns about past management conduct and noise from inside the premises, the patio had operated previously without incident and noise could be mitigated.

The Board approved the application subject to strict conditions, including a reduced capacity, the installation of an acoustic fence, a noise monitor, and restrictions on open doors and outdoor music.
