Defiant residents gave a clear message after concerns were raised over an extended licence for serving alcohol at a local bar - "Don't attack the pubs." The owners of The Roundhouse, in Royal Standard Place, Nottingham, were successful in their bid to serve alcohol until as late as 2am despite concerns raised over noise.
The pub sits close to a number of residential apartment buildings in the city centre. The original licence for the pub was granted as far back as the early 1990s, according to the applicant, and this allowed the premises to open and sell alcohol until 2am.
However, it was understood the previous owner typically closed the doors around 11pm, residents said. An application was made for the licence to allow the provision of films, indoor sporting events, live music and recorded music from Monday to Saturday from 10am to 2am the following morning, and on Sundays from 11am until 2am.
