Neighbors who live near The GOAT tavern in Carmel will have to wait longer to find out what comes next for the bar.

The city’s Board of Zoning Appeals was set to discuss a possible variance in a meeting Monday night. That part of the agenda was tabled until the Feb. 22 meeting.

The tavern first opened in July; since then, the city has received several complaints. In December, Carmel officials ordered the tavern to limit its operating hours based on the existing variance between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Two days later, Carmel allowed The GOAT to stay open past 2 p.m. if it agreed to a long list of conditions.
