City council members threw their support behind Theatre Northwest's application for a liquor licence while meeting Monday, Aug. 19.
Speaking on behalf of TNW, Bob Hillhouse told council that for all the years it has been in operation, the venue has relied on special event permits and obtaining one involves a lot of paperwork.
"But during those years, we've had no complaints and I suspect it's the way they handle the liquor. You get a glass during intermission and you have to sit for an hour and half until the theatre performance is over (and) everybody's generally sobered up," Hillhouse said.
TNW is proposing to offer the service Sunday to Wednesday from noon to 11 p.m. and Thursday to Saturday from noon to 1 a.m.
The application remains subject to approval from the B.C. Liquor and Cannabis Licencing Branch. The LCRB requires approval from local governments.
Council members granted their approval after no objections were raised during a public hearing on the matter.
