No more trouble in River City: Fenway club's pool tables now legal

By adamg on Thu, 02/09/2012 - 4:42pm

The Boston Licensing Board today approved two pool tables at Church of Boston on Kilmarnock Street.

Church ran two coin-operated pool tables for some 4 1/2 years until it learned - via a citation from Boston Police - that it needed a license for them. Hauled before the licensing board last year, Church officials apologized and said they'd immediately shut down the tables.

At a hearing yesterday on its formal license request for the two tables, a bar lawyer emphasized a club worker would have a clear view of the tables to quickly dampen any trouble.

This still happens? It's not just old movies?

No wonder Boston Billiards closed! It must have been a madhouse in there!

Someone needs to shut down

Someone needs to shut down Boca Grande, did they apply for a permit to have chairs inside their shop? Shit can go down, it's like giving people weapons.

I feel safer already

Glad we've got a handle on rogue pool tables. Seriously, wtf? No wonder this town is so fucking boring.

Want to have a guy playing his guitar quietly in your restaurant? Need a license.

Want to have a TELEVISION in your restaurant or bar? Need a license.

Want to have a pool table? Need a license.

Am I missing anything?
