WINCHESTER -- A hookah bar may run as a nightclub but shouldn't sell alcohol on site, the planning commission recommended Tuesday.
Owners of Ali Baba Hookah Bar, 923 Berryville Ave., sought a conditional use permit for a nightclub to allow live music and karaoke.
The owners also sought to revise the original permit, approved in May, to remove a restriction on the sale of alcoholic beverages.
After a public hearing on the requests, the planning commission voted 4-1 recommending the City Council approve the nightclub permit request but that it deny the owners' request to remove the alcohol restriction from the original permit.
Commissioners cited the bar's "track record" of violations of its original permit as reason to not support the owners' desire to expand into alcohol sales.
