The OLCC sees no reason to deny Stars a license to operate in Tualatin. It looks like Stars has made some pretty significant concessions to get the license. Those include restrictions on the number of drinks a patron may order after midnight as well as their alcohol content, and the hiring of security both inside and outside the building. Much of this seems to be based on incidents at their location in Bend. Having visited both the Salem and Beaverton locations, I can report I’ve never felt unsafe and I’ve never worried about my car. I can’t say that about every place I’ve been in town.
The neighbors are going to take one last swing at keeping the bar out of their neighborhood, but it looks like this is pretty much a done deal. Given that Stars has chased most of their local A-level talent away in the last six months, it will be interesting to see how they do.
