Seaside licenses Steady Groove LC for live music and community events

A new entertainment venue is set to open in Seaside, promising to enhance the local experience for both tourists and residents. The owners, who have held the keys for three months, are eager to create a vibrant space that caters to the community's desire for live music and engaging activities. "We want to provide something for tourists to spend their money on and give locals a place to enjoy live music," one owner stated during the recent City Council meeting.

The venue plans to operate Thursday through Sunday, with hours from 2 PM to 10 PM, ensuring compliance with local noise ordinances. The owners have invested in soundproofing and have secured a full restaurant license, allowing them to offer food and beverages in the future, even if they are not planning a full menu at launch. They are also looking to partner with local caterers for special events.

The City Council unanimously approved the liquor license application for the venue, named "The Steady Groove LC - The Lions Den," signaling strong support for the new addition to Seaside's entertainment landscape. Council President Morrissey expressed optimism for the venture, stating, "Good luck," as the owners prepare for their anticipated opening in the next two to three weeks.

In addition to the excitement surrounding the new venue, the Council also discussed a reconsideration of funding for the removal of an unsanctioned homeless camp. Councilor McVey raised concerns about the lack of information during the initial funding decision, prompting a call for a more thorough review. This marks a significant moment in the Council's approach to addressing homelessness in the community, highlighting the need for comprehensive discussions on such critical issues.

As Seaside gears up for new entertainment options, the Council's commitment to addressing local concerns remains a priority, ensuring that both residents and visitors can enjoy a thriving community atmosphere.
