Mission Dolores Noise Community Board 6 meeting

For anyone affected by the noise coming from Mission Dolores, there will be a meeting of Community Board 6 on Monday May 24th at 6:30PM. The meeting will take place at the Community Board 6 District Office, 250 Baltic St between Court and Clinton Streets.

Is it really noisier than Cattyshack was?

I lived in South Slope when Cattyshack was around, but I would imagine that Cattyshack (like every other bar) didn't allow their patrons to sit outside until closing every night like Mission Dolores does. I expected a certain amount of noise living so close to 4th Ave. The traffic noise is fine, but the noise from Mission Dolores is LOUD. I have to close all my windows and turn on the fan full blast and that still does not drown it out. There are a lot of people giving grief to those of us complaining about the noise from Mission Dolores. If those people would list their addresses, I would be happy to invite 20 of my friends to sit outside their windows drinking until 4AM every night.

No, that's why I didn't get an apartment next door to a bar with an outdoor space. Which Cattyshack was for years before Mission Dolores. It's called due diligence.

Actually it has nothing to do with due diligence. In New York there are noise laws for bars that prohibit outdoor seating after 10pm. Mission Dolores is in violation.

JPZ2 you sound like a really fun person. We should go out for a drink sometime. Maybe after the Community Board meeting!

That's absurd. It is not a general rule in NYC that bars have to close their outdoor seating after 10P.

There may be some particular restrictions on Mission Dolores' liquor license though. Are there?

I know just the place.

it's the best new bar in park slope, hands down.

Let's all get together a ruin a really cool bar!

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Mission Delores open next door to what used to be Cattyshack? And Cattyshack, while it had an outdoor space, was never primarily outdoors - the way MD seems to be.

I am usually not sympathetic to people who move next door to a bar and complain about the noise, but it seems to me that if the noise is the result of a new bar set-up - then JPZ2 would have a legitimate beef.

outdoor seating is not prohibited but music is not supposed to exceed 7Db above ambient levels from 10pm to 7am.

Two bars and one's a sports bar? Time to move dude.
