City Centre Chinese Joint Risks Licence Over All-Night Karaoke Raves

A city centre Chinese restaurant could be left singing the blues after cops found it hosting wild all-night karaoke parties. Melody’s Chinese Restaurant, right next to McDonald’s on Commercial Road, has been letting revellers party through the night for a mere £20 entry fee in three separate karaoke rooms.

Illegal Parties Exposed

Despite holding a licence that only allows trading until 11pm, Melody’s was caught red-handed serving up late-night booze, food, and letting customers smoke inside. Police swooped on three occasions this year to uncover the after-hours madness.

Licence on the Line

Hampshire Police aren’t laughing. They’ve now called for Melody’s licence to be revoked, threatening the restaurant’s chances of staying open.

£20 to party all night? Sounds like a bargain, but could cost Melody’s dearly.
