A Merseyside bar faces losing its licence after Merseyside Police raised 'serious concerns' following reporters of 'fights and blaring music'.
Police put forward a request to review the licence of Gambino's on Coronation Road, Crosby.
In a report published by Sefton Council, Merseyside Police's grounds for a review stem from an "incident" where a man was arrested and charged for the possession of an offensive weapon on October 29 and 30 this year.

Following the incident police conducted further enquiries that revealed "breaches of the licence conditions and the unauthorised sale of alcohol".
In the report, it said: "Under the prevention of crime and disorder and the public safety objectives Merseyside Police have serious concerns in relation to the management of the venue stemming from an incident on 29/30 October 2021 when a male was arrested and charged for possession of an offensive weapon.
"Further enquiries revealed breaches of the licence conditions and the unauthorised sale of alcohol."
In the police's application to review Gambino's licence, their main grounds for concern are those of public safety and the prevention of crime and disorder.
The third item referenced in the report is a statement to the licensing team at the council.
The statement from a resident reads: "Music is blasting and goes on till the early hours. You can hear this from BLANK and also through the shutters BLANK, around 11 on the weekday and 12 on a Friday and Saturday.
"He has parties and music on very loud. The police have been called on numerous occasions. Fighting and glasses being smashed inside the premises and out in the street when the fights end up in the road. Police have also been called to these disturbances many times."
A date for the meeting has been set for January 11 where it will be decided whether the bar can keep its licence.
If the bar's licence is removed, there will be a 21-day appeal period. Should there be no appeals during that time, the bar will lose its licence immediately after the appeal period.
