The High Court has urgently blocked the reopening of Galloway’s 8 Ball Sports Bar in Paynters Development due to claims by residents that it violates restrictive covenants, causing concerns about noise, littering, and parking.
Bar owner Kwame Galloway is prohibited from reopening following neighbor complaints.
Social Security, the original lot vendors, were involved in the legal action, but neighbors argue the bar breaches a neighborhood activity clause, potentially leading to crime.
Galloway denies claims, citing no police-reported noise issues.
Justice Rene Williams issued an interim injunction until further court orders or case resolution, following Galloway’s unsuccessful attempt to discharge restrictive covenants in 2023.
