Royal Yacht Gets Nightclub Licence
THE DRIFT Bar at the Royal Yacht will become a nightclub, despite some opposition from local residents and politicians.
In the Royal Court yesterday the Licensing Assembly approved the application for the bar to obtain nightclub status and stay open until 2 am. But the Bailiff, Sir Philip Bailhache, warned the proprietors to take note of all that has been said about the Eagle Tavern and said that the same applied to them. The Bailiff said that noisy drunken people were making the streets of St Helier an unpleasant place to be. Representing the company, solicitor John Bisson said that the Royal Yacht was a top-quality hotel and said that people’s fears about the volume of people spilling out onto the streets were unfounded.
