A threat is facing one of Bristol’s most popular nightclubs next week as Lakota, in Stokes Croft, faces a licensing review.
The club is already at risk of redevelopment, as two years ago Bristol City Council’s development control committee granted planning permission for developers to knock down the building and replace it with flats. Now the club faces another threat, this time to its premises licence.
The council’s licensing sub-committee will hear an application for a licensing review, which could lead to the club’s premises licence being changed, suspended, or completely revoked if councillors think there is a need for action. These licences allow clubs and other venues to sell alcohol, and are crucial to the business.
