Board game café and banquet hall can sell booze but new city centre bar can't

A board game café and a banquet hall in Manchester will soon be allowed to serve alcohol. But a new city centre bar's bid to sell booze has been refused.

Goodtime Games, Didsbury The vegetarian board game café in Burton Road has a 'bring your own bottle' policy, but it now wants to sell alcohol too. Managing director Tom Walker told the panel he put his 'heart and soul' into setting up the three-year-old business on a 'shoestring budget', but despite its popularity, it is struggling financially.

According to the police, the fight which took place in the early hours of the morning resulted in a man receiving 'serious facial injuries' and requiring hospital treatment. But speaking on behalf of GMP, PC Alan Isherwood said he is satisfied with the conditions on the new licence which address his concerns.

Speaking on behalf of the business, Geoff Dixon argued that the area is not residential. But the licensing panel rejected the application after a heated exchange over new concerns which had not been raised before the hearing. Rastafarian Church, Moss Side The Rastafarian Church in Claremont Road applied for a temporary event notice which would allow for alcohol to be sold until 4am at event on August 11. Representatives from the church said the event would raise funds to cover medical costs for a well-known artist who will be performing in a wheelchair.

At a town hall hearing today , owner Yaser Mehmood blamed the sale of illegal cigarettes on his staff but took responsibility for the on-display vapes which exceeded the legal limit of 2ml. However, he said he cannot find 'professional' people to work at the shop because it is in a 'very troubled area'.
