BAR HARBOR – The popular Main Street nightclub Carmen Verandah will try Tuesday to get a special amusement permit from the town, but if councilors agree with the police chief, the effort could be futile.

Bar Harbor police have issued three summonses to the owner, Michael Boland, including two for operating without a permit and one for excessive noise. Under the town ordinance, if the council agrees there have been violations, Boland would lose his right to a permit for up to 30 days, according to Police Chief Nate Young.

Boland declined to comment Friday, saying only, “I’m still trying to figure things out.”

Young said he became aware that Boland did not have a valid special amusement permit when he issued the first violation for excessive noise in early July. Under the ordinance, Young said, he is required to notify the Town Council when amusement permit violations are issued.

When Young discovered at the town office that Boland did not have a permit, he issued a second violation and told Boland to stop offering live entertainment until he got a new permit.

Young said he issued a third summons in late July.

“After being warned not to operate without a permit, there was another violation,” Young said Friday.

In a separate action, the state Bureau of Liquor Enforcement also issued an administrative summons against Boland last week for operating without a special amusement license, Young said.

The Bar Harbor special amusement ordinance provides an appeals process, Young said. It also gives the council flexibility in deciding how many days an applicant must wait to re-apply for a license. Boland faces a $500 fine for each violation, Young said.

Boland owns numerous businesses in Bar Harbor, which include the restaurant Rupununi on Main Street, where he operates Carmen Verandah upstairs; Joe’s Smoke Shop; another restaurant, Havana; and the Criterion Theater.

He also opened a new restaurant in Bangor last January called Guinness & Porcelli’s.
