Queen’s University’s pristine new student union has received a 2am licence to provide entertainment, an hour earlier than the old building’s 3am licence.
At Belfast City Council ’s Licensing Committee this week, elected representatives unanimously agreed a provisional grant for a seven-day annual indoor entertainments licence with extended hours from 1am to 2am for the new QUB One Elmwood Student Centre, which opened this month.
All applications to provide indoor entertainment beyond 1.00 am are subject to consideration by the Licensing Committee. The council report states: “To assist the University in the circumstances where the building is ready to open for the start of the new term, in advance of consideration of this application for an extension in hours to 2.00am, the Entertainment Licence has been issued permitting the premises to operate to 1.00 am.”
