GDL Reserve Approved Over 127-Signature Petition as Neighbors Allege Club 26 Mix Ties

San Francisco's Entertainment Commission approved all eight entertainment permits on its agenda — including the fiercely contested GDL Reserve bar and lounge on Potrero Avenue — while hearing alarming testimony from neighbors who say the Commission is failing to enforce the rules at 81 Social Gallery on Cedar Street.

• GDL Reserve wins POE and billiard parlor permit with modified hours despite 127-signature neighbor petition alleging ties to shuttered Club 26 Mix nightclub
• Neighbors blast 81 Social Gallery during commissioner comments, reporting gunshots, chronic noise violations, and "complete loss of trust" in enforcement
• El Dorado nightclub granted LLP on Union Street despite unauthorized entertainment advertising and owner's limited knowledge of venue programming
• Hidden Frequency, a queer-focused music venue, sails through with 130+ support letters and late-night permits on Mission Street
• Flying Figs Wine Bar approved for outdoor amplified sound over objections from eight residents living directly above

The longest and most contentious item of the night centered on GDL Reserve at 491 Potrero Ave., a 49-person bar and lounge with two pool tables seeking a place of entertainment and billiard parlor permit.
