The ownership group behind Toronto'sRebel nightclubandCabana Pool Barjust won the right to squeeze another 830 people into their massive entertainment complex at Polson Pier.

Will locals be mad about more noise, more trash and potentially more violence? Probably — but it could have been so much worse.

Powerhouse Corp., the company that operates what used to be The Docks, had originally applied for a license to to host morethan 15,000 people at a timebetweenRebelandCabana— 7,584 guests inside and another 7,971 on the patio.

This would have seen Toronto's eastern waterfront become home to the largest nightclub on Earth.

Fortunately for all of the neighbours and politicians who objected to that happening, Powerhouse's application was shot down... mostly.

A Licence Appeal Tribunal decided last week toexpand the venue's capacity, according to the Toronto Star, but not by as much as its owners had hoped.

Rebel can now hold 4,565 people at a time which, while less than a third of what was proposed last year, still makes police quite nervous.

The nightclub, formerly Sound Academy, has long been known totick off neighbours with its thumping musicand noisy parties. Like many large clubs, it has also seen its fair share of violent assaults.

Earlier this summer, a man was rushed to hospitalwith gunshot woundsafter a fight broke out in the parking lot and, last October, a double homicide saw two young men lose their lives in the same location, both of themfatally shot.

Toronto rapper Tory Lanez literallypunched a fan in the headmid-concert just last month at Rebel, and Cabana has produced some of the most viralbrawlvideosof our time (no offence to Pizza Pizza).

Then there are all the suspected overdoses, sexual assaults, car thefts and fights. In total, 60 such incidents have occurred in or around the venue this year alone.

"We do have public safety concerns about what this could mean," said police spokesperson Mark Pugash to The Star on Sunday.

"Our job remains the same, which is to protect public safety, but that doesn't diminish for a second the concerns we have."
