The owners of a pub in Nottingham have been granted a licence to serve alcohol until as late 2am despite some residents raising concerns over noise. William Middleton applied for the premises licence for the Roundhouse in Royal Standard Place, saying the pub would normally close at 11pm but the extra hours would allow flexibility.
The pub sits close to a number of residential apartment buildings in the city centre. The original licence for the pub was granted as far back as the early 1990s, according to the applicant, and this allowed the premises to open and sell alcohol until 2am.
However, it was understood the previous owner typically closed the doors around 11pm, residents said. Mr Middleton applied for the licence to allow the provision of films, indoor sporting events, live music and recorded music from Monday to Saturday from 10am to 2am the following morning, and on Sundays from 11am until 2am.
