GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Common Council voted early Wednesday not to renew the liquor license of a nightclub owned by Packers' player Nick Barnett.

The council took the move on an 8-4 vote concerning the FiveSix Ultra Lounge at the recommendation of the city's Protection and Welfare Committee.
Several residents who live near the nightclub testified before the council about late-night noise, drunkenness and other problems they said took place after the bar closes.

``The people that come out of that establishment are unruly,'' neighbor Jesse Rouse said. ``I have people that come over that are astonished by what happens at bar time.''

Barnett said he will pursue any options available to keep the club open.

``I don't believe they were fair,'' he said. ``I think they're using me as a tool to speak to other bars through the media. ``
