DJGaryMatthews Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 this was posted as a bulletin by someone on myspace:After liquor violations, DJais becomes restaurant onlyby Michelle SamenfeldFriday, January, 25th , 2006After relentless city charges that Djais was morphing into a majordisturbance after dark, the owners of Djais have decided to renovate thespace and change it to Frida to maintain the venue as strictly arestaurant. DJais was in danger of losing its liquor license before the ownersdecided to drastically alter the venue and agreed to stiffliquor-license conditions. Assistant city attorney Jennifer Zilavy said the city requested thatDJais' liquor license expire after repeated complaints it was servingalcohol to customers that became extremely rowdy and allowing dancingwithout the new town issued required license. Zilavy said the restaurant/club was also accused of blocking fire exitswhen they moved tables to allow for dancing. "They were not operating as they told the [Alcohol License ReviewCommittee] they were going to operate," Zilavy said. Belmar Police Department Sgt. Emil Quast said the department respondedto complaints this year that Djais admitted customers beyond itscapacity limits and did not employ a licensed bartender. Zilavy said the city withdrew the complaint against DJAis after meetingwith attorney Rick Petri, who represents owner Kip Petersen, said theowners were planning to become a new restaurant and would agree to a45-day suspension if the ALRC found any liquor-license violation. "Their primary concern was this place better be a damn restaurant,"Petri said. According to city law, a restaurant is defined as earning at least 78percent of its sales revenue from food. The conditions approved Dec.. 5 by the City Council as part of theliquor-license renewal include reducing the total capacity of Frida from320 to 160, closing one hour before bartime and limiting entertainmentto television - radios or cassette players with DJs specificallyprohibited. Frida must also serve lunch and dinner each day of the week andbreakfast Saturday and Sunday. ALRC member Kenneth Kamp said the conditions made the committee moreconfident that nightclub-like practices would not continue at Frida. "We had a better feeling that they were going to be a restaurant ratherthan continuing as a nightclub under a different name," Kamp said. Quast said the city needs to make better plans to accommodate theincrease in calls for alcohol-related crimes like battery and assault.
