🙉 Arts District bar sued over noise

🎶 Art Museum Mad About Music in the Arts District

Taverna Costera, which has hosted live music for years, is being sued by its landlord over noise levels. The plaintiff is responding to complaints by another tenant, the neighboring Southern Nevada Art Museum, which just opened in March and is threatening to revoke a $40,000 deposit. [KLAS]

• Taverna Costera offered evidence the landlord signed off on an expanded patio fence in question and claims the plaintiff is withdrawing his properties (which include the Arts Factory and Art Square) from actively participating in First Friday to use the grounds for paid parking instead during the monthly art walk.
