Club Karma’s Class C liquor license is set to expire Oct. 31, according to the City Clerk’s Office. Hyde has told The World-Herald that he would consider submitting a new application. He declined to comment after the vote.

Police reports from this year indicate a history of problems at the club near 14th and Farnam Streets.

Among the problems investigated by police: fights involving bar patrons, thefts in the area, underage or intoxicated drinkers being served, disturbances and loud music.

Omaha police have filed five tavern reports with the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission against the club’s liquor license. They allege unruly crowds, fights and patrons being served after hours.

In written complaints to the city, neighbors Nate Moody and Clare Jennings described thumping bass, strobe lights and arguments that could be heard in nearby residential buildings.

“I can make out the words to songs on occasion with my windows shut,” Moody wrote.

Hyde blamed many of the club’s problems on its former security contractor, whom he did not name. He described the security guards as overly aggressive and said they escalated confrontations.
