CARMEL, Ind. (WISH) The city government says its Board of Zoning Appeals is weighing its next step after a Hamilton County judge this week vacated a 4-1 vote in April to deny a use variance for the GOAT tavern.
The judge ordered the board to try again.
Kevin and Megan Paul, owners of the Greatest of All Taverns, had asked the judge to reverse the BZA decision for the restaurant and tavern located downtown at 220 Second St. Southwest.
The tavern first opened in July 2020 in the former Bub’s Cafe. It now is closed.
The dispute began after neighbors complained to the city about noise and about tavern patrons urinating and vomiting on adjacent private properties.

HANCOCK COUNTY His family spent a lot of time using a steam iron on D.J. Davis’ black judge’s robe earlier in the day. Underneath the robe, he was wearing a shirt and tie in purple, his father’s favorite color.
With his wife, Heather; two sons, Kevin and Ryan; along with his brothers, his mom and his in-laws standing by his side, Davis placed his hand on the family Bible and was sworn into office as the new Hancock County Superior Court 1 judge.
“This whole day has just been great getting warmed up for this,” Davis said. “I’m overwhelmed because you look forward to this and then there is a lull in between the win and this, but it is happening.”
