The owners of a city centre restaurant aiming to open up and offer karaoke until 5am have been granted a premises licence despite coming in for fierce criticism.
Miss Pho on Renshaw Street has been awarded a licence to trade alcohol and stage live music despite being branded a bad neighbour and accused of ignoring concerns, by the chair of Liverpool Council licensing and gambling sub-committee. The Vietnamese venue had sought an alcohol licence seeking to trade until 3am.
The request, submitted by Trong Quy Nguyen, also sought to play live music at the Vietnamese venue until 5am. This was rejected amid a series of complaints raised by neighbours ahead and during the meeting.
