Neighbour objects to noise from Dublin gay bar

A neighbour of one of Dublin's best-known gay bars has told a court his night's sleep was "decimated" by the venue playing "thumping" club music and blasting Whitney Houston or Celine Dion's hits. Tommy Bergin, who lives with his wife in an apartment above the popular Street 66 bar on Parliament Street, lodged an objection to its music, singing, and dancing licences. The case was heard at Dublin District Court by Judge Marie Quirke, who oversees public houses in the capital.

The judge noted expert witnesses gave evidence that the building was not ideal for the co-location of apartments and a late-night venue. She granted the renewal of the licences on the condition that the premises implemented a ten-decibel drop in the music levels, noting that there was no empirical evidence that this would affect business. The judge also ordered both parties to meet every four months
