A downtown business on 16th Street is seeking a liquor license. Some neighbors say "No way!" In fact, they want the license stripped from another lounge across the street. On Tuesday afternoon, the Omaha City Council will hear from both sides and make a decision.

Like many urban areas, downtown 16th Street can be busy at all hours. Some neighbors are concerned about Silhouettes nightclub on one side and the hookah lounge across the street.

The Oasis Hookah Lounge has been open for eight months. Here -- flavored tobacco is smoked and filtered through a water pipe called a hookah.

Owners are asking the city to allow them sell alcohol, but in order to do that -- they must follow an unique set of rules.

Jesse Hill, owner of Oasis Hookah Bar says, "If we want to serve someone a bottle of water, we cannot do so by state law unless we become a cigar bar -- and in order to be a cigar bar we have to have a liquor license."

"When customers get turned away from Silhouettes, we're not sure the Oasis is prepared to handle those types of individuals," says Maurice Parker who is with the Condo Association Board.

He doesn't think the Oasis should get a liquor license and that the city should reconsider the license belonging to Silhouettes Lounge.

Tenants have been recording the fights and congestion that they say typically happens at 2am at Silhouettes.

"It was also trouble from the very beginning from hearing gunshots and then fights on a daily basis," says Parker.

The owner of Silhouettes -- open for a year and a half now -- says those reports of violence are exaggerated and that the neighbors seem compelled to shut the place down rather than sit down and talk about their concerns.

Courtney Kellogg, owner of Silhouettes, says, "This is downtown living -- it's not the suburbs. If you want to live quietly, I think the suburbs is the best place to live."

The condo association says it really wouldn't have much of a problem with the Hookah Bar getting a liquor license if it wasn't for what they believe is trouble at the other place.

The owner of the silhouettes doesn't buy it.

The Omaha city council will hold a public hearing and is scheduled to vote on the proposals beginning at 2pm on Tuesday.
