Peaceful residents of "Tabach" district are restless: a nearby nightclub is causing disturbances
When the sun's down and the city's sleeping, the party's going strong at these late-night bars. Every year, they cause quite a ruckus in certain neighborhoods—and not just in Tobacco Factory. The disturbance is so consistent, it feels like a nightly bash in a pit, thanks to the thumping music echoing through the area.
It's not just the bar itself that's bothering the locals, but the cars pulling up too. Young partygoers crank up the tunes and knock back a few drinks.
"Can't sleep a wink because of this rowdy bar!" complains VK "Bisk 22."
Funnily enough, it's not just Tobacco Factory that's plagued with this issue. Residents in Priobye and the center face similar issues year after year.
- "Shut this den of iniquity down! It's a criminal enterprise!"
- "Same old story in Priobye."
- "Center's facing the same problem."
- "Awful place, needs to be shuttered!"
- "Guess the residents are okay with it or they'd be up in arms. Call them what you will!"
- "This place has been standing since Soviet times—even a few murders didn't manage to shut it down. Many complained, but it's still here today."
- "They'll drink on the street if it closes!"
Addressing noise complaints from bars in industrial areas that affect residential communities calls for a multi-layered approach. Here are some strategies that can be applied in our troubled spots like Tobacco Factory, Priobye, and central areas:
