Summary
Castle Café Inc. has submitted an application for a new liquor licence to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) for a premises at 454 Spadina Avenue operating under the name Castle Board Game Café (the “Premises”).

Potential impacts relate to noise, safety, litter, and other matters. This application for a liquor licence is not in the public interest unless certain conditions, addressing the concerns of the community, are attached to the licence.
