After seven trouble-free months, the owners of the Majestic Theatre are looking to get the restrictions against their liquor license lifted or relaxed.
As it stands, the theater has to close half an hour before bar time. That means weeknight closing time can be no later than 1:30 a.m., and weekend closing time can be no later than 2 a.m. Its capacity can be no more than 600 for ticketed events and 350 for non-ticketed events, and non-ticketed events are limited to the venue’s first floor only. Also, alcohol can be served no earlier than one hour prior to the beginning of an event.
“We’ve obviously proven ourselves to be who we said we were going to be at the outset,” said Scott Leslie, who owns the business with partner Matt Gerding. “We’re very proud of the operation that we run.”
