Philharmonic Hotel Fights Back Over "24-Hour Drinking" Accusations

Management representing Hope Street's independent Philharmonic Hotel have strongly hit back at local criticisms regarding their upcoming council licensing bid. Following public objections from ward councillors warning that a 5 am alcohol application could bring "24-hour outdoor drinking" to the historic corridor, hotel chiefs clarified that the request strictly covers standard internal room service for their 20 guest bedrooms. Outlining a flawless two-year trading track record with no police objections, owners expressed confidence ahead of the official sub-committee hearing at Liverpool Town Hall.
