Guy Ritchie
Guy Ritchie faces losing the liquor license on his beloved London pub following a string of complaints from local residents, femalefirst.co.uk reports.
Ritchie purchased The Punch Bowl in Mayfair while he was married to pop superstar Madonna, and was allowed to keep the drinking establishment in their divorce settlement.
But the venue is facing possible closure after officials at the local council were inundated by letters from disgruntled residents complaining about noise levels coming from the pub at night.
A source told London newspaper the Evening Standard: “The neighbours are fed up with the racket (noise), which sometimes goes on into the early hours.”
Authorities at Westminster Council confirmed they have received 37 complaints about The Punch Bowl and have taken action by placing a microphone in a nearby building to monitor noise levels from the pub over the next few weeks.
