A North Belfast old boys club has received a renewal for an entertainment licence despite complaints from a neighbour about excessive noise and alleged abuse from patrons.
At Belfast City Council ’s recent meeting of its Licensing Committee, elected members agreed to give St Malachy’s College Old Boys’ Association, at 442 Antrim Road in the Fortwilliam Area, a renewal of its seven-day annual indoor entertainments licence, which it has held since 1998.
The association can serve drinks and hold entertainment Monday to Saturday, 11.30am to 11.00pm and Sunday 12.30pm to 11pm. In addition to the normal hours shown, the club, which has a capacity of 333 people, may apply for up to 104 extensions a year to sell alcohol until 1am on any day of the week, at the discretion of the police.
