For those of you sitting on the edge of your seat about the outcome of last night’s Community Board 6 meeting at Borough Hall, here’s the latest: Union Hall will have its bar/venue license renewed. Brownstoner writes:
Bumpershine reports that last night Community Board 6 dismissed the motion
brought forward last week by its landmarks/land-use committee saying
Union Hall shouldn’t receive a liquor license renewal. Instead, the
board introduced a new motion in favor of the bar/venue’s license
renewal that was overwhelmingly approved. Nearby residents charged that
noise from Union Hall was destroying their quality of life, while Union
Hall supporters argued that the business was a boon to Park Slope. "CB6
has dealt a blow against the residents they’re meant to protect," says
Jon Crow, one of the organizers of the anti-Union Hall faction, in an
email statement.

Jon Crow is a big cry baby. He and the others protest for the sake of protesting. Union Hall is within their rights. Never saw them trying to close down 200 Fifth which is right there too and had a much rowdier crowd. Can you say NIMBY?
