I did see it and I see it quite regularly being a resident for the last 9 years, and no I wasn't kidding, do you really think the people who live nearby enjoy a dive bar (and that's really what it is) and everything it brings with it? loud speakers on the street? nice of the city to OK a big 'screw you' to every actual resident within sound range of the place, gee wonder where all the bar visitors are going to park? eh well all the people who live there can just walk a few miles right?
A restaurant open in the evening is one thing, a noise and traffic nuisance to actual residents is quite another, I'm sure no one will agree and will respond with a nice "well they can all just move" except a lot of them really don't have the option.
Eh well.
