PORTAGE | The Board of Zoning Appeals reached a compromise with operators of El Patron restaurant this week that will allow them to remain open until midnight on the weekends.
The owners had been operating the restaurant at 6291 Central Ave., but extended weekend operating hours until 3 a.m. to allow for late dancing and music. The restaurant only had permission to operate until 10 p.m.
It's real shitty that in an economy like this that the BZA would nitpick at a restaurant that is successful enough to stay open until 3am. Workers are going to lose pay because of them.

I would have been willing to bet there was no such thing as a 10 PM curfew for a bar anywhere. Now the 3 AM closing I can't speech to. I guess it should partly depend on if it's a hardship for homes in the area. Still, I'd think a 1 PM weekend curfew should be approbate.
