The Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority has decided to impose tighter trading restrictions on The Sydney Junction Hotel at Hamilton.
It follows a request from Newcastle Police amid concerns about several assaults at or near the venue.
The board of the authority has decided the hotel will stop serving drinks at 1.30am between Monday and Saturday instead of 3am.
The changes come into force from July 1 – it comes after the authority named the Junction Hotel as the most violent venue in NSW.
The owner of the hotel is appealing the authority’s decision.
