Commission approves two permits, moves to cancel Nov. 6 meeting
Summary
The Entertainment Commission approved a billiard permit for Bachus Kirk and a place-of-entertainment permit for Hakkasan (1 Kearny Place) on the consent calendar, and voted to cancel its November 6 meeting (Election Day).
The Entertainment Commission approved several routine items on the consent calendar and handled scheduling business during its Oct. 16 meeting.
A motion to approve a billiard permit for a single table at Bachus Kirk (925 Bush St., applicant Jason Lidley) carried on the consent calendar with roll-call 'Aye' votes from commissioners present.
The commission also approved a place-of-entertainment permit for Hakkasan at 1 Kearny Place after applicant Michael Judge (service director) described the operation as a London-based restaurant with a small DJ station and limited entertainment hours. Commissioners pressed on neighborhood outreach and potential noise concerns (window construction and special occasions such as New Year's Eve); the applicant said required posting for 30 days had been completed and described a charitable pre-opening event for Make-A-Wish.
In routine business, commissioners moved and approved cancelling the Nov. 6 meeting because it falls on Election Day; staff said permits had been kept off that calendar to avoid backlog. President Newland also discussed chair succession and encouraged commissioners to gain experience chairing meetings ahead of an expected June transition.
