Manila Bistro liquor and live entertainment permit
Manila Bistro on South Harbison Avenue asked the council for final approval to serve beer, wine, and spirits with live entertainment. The Planning Commission already reviewed the request, and the council was scheduled to hold the required public hearing before deciding.
