The City of Montreal is promising to rapidly change a bylaw to protect entertainment venues and bars from noise complaints, after a court ordered a beloved music hall to pipe down.

In a decision released Monday, the Court of Appeal ordered La Tulipe—a venue that opened its doors more than 100 years ago—to stop making audible noise from its sound equipment.
