Vernon Jazz Club looking to expand liquor service hours
The jazz club in downtown Vernon is looking to expand its capability for hosting events.
The Vernon Jazz Club applied to the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch to change it’s liquor service from the current hours of 7:15 to 11:45 p.m., to instead be able to serve between 11 a.m. and 1 a.m.
The non-profit, volunteer-run Vernon Jazz Club said expanding the hours of service would allow the club to have earlier start times for shows and events. It would also permit afternoon music workshops to be held on site, and allow for events that run later, such as New Year’s Eve celebrations, to be held at the club.
In a report presented to Vernon City Council at the regular meeting Monday, March 24, it was stated that the noise levels due to the proposed increase in hours was expected to be minimal due to the location within the downtown core. It also stated the increase in service hours would have a beneficial impact on the community as it supports alternative entertainment options.
