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.
