Description
This bar is a frequent flyer of going above and beyond the reasonable sound limits for this street. It is sandwiched between TWO residential high rises. If you surveyed residents in each, they’d agree it is excessive. The sub woofer or bass system is out of line. And entirely unreasonably loud. I am so tired of having to blast my own noise machine in futile efforts to drown out this bar’s horrendous sound system - it’s getting exhausting not being able to sleep or rest.
