Appeal of Opa's Outdoor Music Venue Permit We are appealing the outdoor music venue permit granted to Opa (formerly known as the Music Café), which is located at 2050 South Lamar.
Restaurant Row Introduces Outdoor Music Permits The City of Austin has issued six Outdoor Music Venue (OMV) permits within the Zilker neighborhood under the new city sound ordinance approved about a year ago. These permits allow the venues (usually a restaurant or bar) to provide amplified music outdoors within certain decibel and time limits, on designated days of the week. A permit is issued for one year. If the venue violates the terms of the permit, the permit may not be renewed. The Zilker venues are all north of Barton Springs Road, on or near Restaurant Row. All but one* operate as restaurants and are therefore limited to 70 decibels, measured at the property line.
