Vancouver city staff say council should support an application to turn Kitsilano’s historic Hollywood Theatre into a multi-use venue with a liquor-primary licence.

A staff report going to council this week recommends that an application from consulting firm Blue Diamond Hospitality, representing Hollywood Theatres Ltd., get a council resolution endorsing an event-driven liquor licence for the 594-person venue at 3123 West Broadway.

The operators intend to run the theatre as a venue for arts and entertainment events such as concerts, live theatre and film presentations, according to the staff report. They will also host corporate, private and non-profit events, and a family food-service endorsement will allow minors accompanied by a parent or guardian to enter licensed areas until 10 p.m. when food service is available.

Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday to Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday to Saturday. After the theatre has operated for six months, the city may consider extended hours, from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday to Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
