According to reports, Circle Bar on St. Charles Ave and Siberia on St. Claude Ave will no longer be able to host live music until they receive proper permits from the city. The recent enforcement of the city's music permitting laws has prompted significant outcry from the public although sources in the Mayor's office argue that the administration is merely enforcing laws that have been on the books for years. One bit of good news is that - through a grandfathering loophole in the licensing laws - Circle Bar may be eligible to return to hosting music if it can show that it was obviously putting on shows for at least 5 years without a license.
