City Council Approves Live Music at Magpie's

Before the ordinance was changed, live music was not permitted for some restaurants that serve alcohol.

Yet another business on historic South Main Street has won approval for live music.

At Tuesday night's council meeting, the St. Charles City Council unanimously approved a conditional use permit for live music at Magpie's.

In September of last year, the City Council approved unamplified live music at restaurants that serve alcohol until 9 p.m. indoors and until 8 p.m. outdoors. Business owners have to apply for a conditional use permit for live music and further limits may be placed on the business.

Before the change, live music had been banned on portions of South Main Street for businesses that serve alcohol.
