Open Windows at Molly's
July 29, 1998
On Saturday, July 25", while going home from an alarm I drove past Molly's on Route 28 in
West Yarmouth at approximately 11 P.M. and was shocked to hear the noise coming from the
bar section of the restaurant.
I turned around and drove back to the establishment and parked out front. The reason for the
amount of noise coming from the structure was that all of the windows in the bar area were open
and there was a substantial amount of people in the bar area. The noise consisted of music and
extremely loud voices from the patrons, especially those that were engaged in playing darts.
I asked to have Mr. Moxlie, the Manager, meet me outside the building.. I asked Mr. Moxlie to
accompany me to the curb at Route 28 in the front of the building and pointed out the noise that
could be heard coming from the building. I informed Mr. Moxlie of the requirements of the
Town regards noise coming from the establishment and directed him to close the windows
immediately and utilize his air conditioning if it was hot in the building.
I again passed the building on Tuesday night, July 28", at approximately 9 P.M. and again
discovered that the windows in the restaurant and the bar area were open, however, as business
was slow little noise could be heard above the road noise.
It would appear that this is an area that we may want to ask the Agents of the Licensing
Authority to pay particular attention to. The improvements in both the restaurant and the bar
area have been substantial and'I am in hopes that with a minimal amount of effort we can keep
the establishment from receiving Noise Violations.
