The Agco proceeds to cancel the liquor license of the North York Knight Club for 'frequent obstruct inspections'

The AGCO’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission says that after taking action to cancel a nightclub’s liquor license in North York, after claiming that employees repeatedly stopped the inspectors from entering the premises.

1295 Finch Avenue West has issued a notice of proposal to cancel the INXX lounge license at the West against the establishment, which is also alleged to have been accused of what ACGO is called as “dangerous” congestion.

The ACGO said in a release, “The lounge, who actively prevent inspectors from completing their duties, prevented the essential regulatory inspection designed to protect the patron and the broader community directly.”

“With frequent obstructions, coupled with events, such as hazardous congestion allowing events, which exceeds the license capacity of the site, it shows that INXX is failing to operate the INXX lounge with integrity and according to the Wine License Control Act (LLCA).”

ACGO said that “the license holder has the right basis to believe, honesty, integrity and law will not conduct business according to the law.”

ACGO cited three specific incidents, where its inspectors along with Toronto police officers were blocked by entering the club twice.

On 8 February 2025, the AGCO inspectors and Toronto Police Service (TPS) officers were interrupted by protection from entering the licensed premises. The licensees stopped an inspector from reviewing an inspector from a handheld point-off-cell machine, and by removing it, the licensee physically stopped an inspector from exiting the campus.
On May 24, 2025, the AGCO inspectors and TPS authorities were re -disrupted by protection from entering the INXX lounge. Inspectors also found a licensed campus to overcome legal capacity.
On June 29, 2025, the AGCO inspectors were once interrupted by protection from entering the licensed premises.

“When the licenses interrupted the inspectors and police officers from doing their work, they endanger public safety and reduce the integrity of the regulatory structure implemented by us,” Dr. Karin Shonar, Registrar and CEO, AGO said in a release.

“We will continue to take all appropriate action against those who fail to maintain these important responsibilities.”
