A Minot city council committee is recommending a local bar lose its liquor license.

The Liquor and Gaming Committee voted this afternoon to pull the license of Sidekicks because it is not meeting the requirements of the city ordinance.

Sidekicks operates on a hotel-motel liquor license because it is associated with the Magic City Motel.

But city officials notified the operators in December that they were not in compliance because there were not enough rooms for rent at the motel.

They were given six months to meet the requirements.

But a Minot Police investigation showed the number of rooms at the motel is still well below the figure set in the law.

The committee’s recommendation goes on to the full city council for a vote next week.

We’re told Sidekicks closed its doors last weekend.
