The problem is those visitors to the tavern weren't guaranteed the same spot, that no one else was allowed to occupy, 24/7.

Residents with reserved parking will mean that no one else will be allowed to park in those spaces, at all, any time of day or night.

Katie Belles wasn't open 24/7. It opened some time in the afternoon and shut down at whatever time it shut down for the night. So people coming in the morning to enjoy the square, maybe go to Dunkin Donuts, or just enjoy a walk around the area, all had the opportunity to occupy those spaces. With reserved parking, even if the tenant isn't there for a couple of months - no one else will be allowed to park there.
