I understand the residents complaints. Noise is something that occurs around us all the time, The rumble of the 710, loud cars, loud drunks coming from the liquor store, barking dogs, car alarms, busses and trucks. We at the Puka Bar will keep the rear doors closed and we are in the process of tuning the room to minimize sound leakage to protect the neighbors from the noise of music so they can hear the noise of the freeway. I live in the neighborhood, but out of earshot of the club. I have noise every day, I have garbage every day, I guess thats what living in the 5th largest city in California and 35th largest city in the US will get you.

Please note there were only three neighbors at the council meeting that didn't want the permit. The remaining five neighbors were there in support of the Puka Bar getting the entertainment permit and we too had a petition that was put into the record with 42 signatures in favor. All of us that were for the permit understand the plight of the immediate neighbors but we welcome what this bar is doing for our neighborhood. With the entertainment permit we will get some much needed live music to our area. And we like hearing Wrigley mentioned when going to shops on 4th street's retro row. Larry Settle is a great neighbor to our community, back in September he opened his establishment up to us for a fundraiser that was quite successful. And we enjoyed going to the art show that happened over 4 days last weekend. We want to foster more culture/entertainment in our neighborhood and are glad that the puka bar was granted the permit. When you come visit our great little bar and entertainment venue please be respectful to the neighbors and try to park on Willow instead of on Maine. Thank you.

Puka Bar is one of the best things about Willow and the Westside! Congrats Larry and please continue all of your hard work...you are an asset to the community.

I have lived in Wrigley (just a few blocks from The Puka) since 1996. The Puka bar is something I am proud to have in our community! It is beautifully crafted with pleasant employees and patrons. The music is great and I would encourage the neighbors to take a break and visit the bar. They even can talk to the bar about hosting special events and parties there. It's the coolest place in Long Beach!
