City of Newport Beach
Police Department
March 2, 2011
TO: Jaime Murillo, Associate Planner
FROM: Detective Bryan Moore
SUBJECT: Malarky's Irish Pub, 3011 Newport Boulevard, Use Permit No.
2010 -039, (PA2010 -172).
The purpose of this memo is to provide additional information to the Planning
Department regarding the project application for Malarky's Irish Pub, located at
3011 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach.
It is important to note that Malarky's Irish Pub is a unique location for several
reasons: (1) it is located on a busy boulevard in close proximity to residential
neighborhoods (2) it is located in reporting district 15 which is the most
concentrated area for retail alcohol establishments in the Newport Beach, (3) It
has been, and will continue to be, a late night drinking establishment that
operates at or near full capacity on the weekends, and (4) it is in close proximity
to other late night drinking establishments such as Rudy's and Newport Brewing
Company.
The Police Department's primary concern with the interior expansion of Malarky's
is the significant increase in occupancy (75 interior, 49 patio) should this
application be approved. The applicant may have the best intentions, however,
the Police Department knows from experience that when Malarky's closes at
2 a.m., numerous intoxicated individuals leave and create subsequent problems
for police and neighborhood residents alike. This is in addition to the patrons that
are already leaving neighboring bars such as Rudy's and Newport Brewing
Company. It is our belief that an increase in occupancy, for Malarky's, will have
additional negative impacts on the surrounding neighborhood and will be a
further drain on police services.
It should also be noted that while the Operator's License may be an effective tool
in many situations, we do not believe it can properly manage the effects of a
significant increase in occupancy. Even if the applicant followed all of the
conditions of the license, it would not properly address the influx of patrons onto
a busy boulevard and ultimately into the neighboring residential areas.

Malarky's
UP No. 2010 -039
The Police Department continues to recommend against the proposed interior
expansion based on the prediction that it will result in an increase in police
related activities and calls for police services. The resources required to address
these events would detract from our ability to provide police services to the other
areas of the Community
