The Appellant applied for a liquor sales licence for an outdoor patio at its pub.
Several local residents and a condominium corporation objected, citing concerns about noise, disruptive behaviour, and traffic.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the objectors' concerns regarding disruptive behaviour and traffic were speculative and unsupported by evidence.
Relying on expert acoustical evidence, the Tribunal concluded that the patio noise would likely comply with municipal bylaws and not disturb residents.
The Tribunal approved the application subject to conditions, including an 11 p.m. closing time and a prohibition on outdoor music.
