Judge Allows Alcohol Service at New Club
In spite of strong opposition from his future neighbors, businessman Mark Woods has gotten permission to serve alcohol at a nightclub he plans to open.
Woods, who wants to open a nightclub in Cannery Village called Mark Wood’s Hide Out, was given permission by an administrative judge to serve alcohol at the location.
The club, which will occupy the former site of the jazz club Cafe Lido, may open in mid-May--if residents of Cannery Village don’t appeal the alcohol license.
In recent months, the community has vigorously protested both new and existing bars.
Their neighborhood, they say, already has too many noisy bars. And they are constantly disturbed by the bar patrons who urinate on their lawns and awaken them as they meander through the streets late at night, they said.
