Law / Obtaining a License to sell Liquor in a restaurant in Poland [9]

My questions seems like it may be a little difficult to answer and if anyone could provide an answer or assistance to this it would be greatly appreciated.

First I must inform you that I am not currently living in Poland, so I am unaware of what the laws are regarding a liquor license. I will be moving to Warsaw in approximately 8-9 months and am trying to educate myself as much as possible.

A business partner of mine has recently opened a restaurant in Warsaw and has not been granted a liquor license. The reason for this is due to tenants that live above the restaurant. Apparently the tenants have complained to some governing body and his application for a license was rejected.

The type of restaurant is by no means comparable to a Cinnamon, Piekarnia, or Enclava. It is a proper restaurant not a club. Furthermore it is in an area where there are other restaurants whom we think have liquor licenses, although cannot say for sure. The location is absolutely ideal for restaurant goers. But it seems he can't get a license.

Does anyone know what the process is for obtaining a liquor license is?

Thanks and any replies are much appreciated

Study / Choosing an International School in Poland [9]

I was wondering if I could get the advice of some ex pats in Warsaw about International Schools. I will be moving to Warsaw within the next 8 months and would like to get a better idea of the schools available in the Warsaw area. I have Googled it and came up with all the big name schools. American School of Warsaw and The British School seem to be the two most popular ones, also the most expensive.

Does anyone send there kids to other schools that are as good?
Are there any that you recommend?
Why do you like the one you are currently enrolled with?

Thank you for any comments.
