The Liquor Control Commission meets next Tuesday at 7 p.m. On the docket, a Fair Days request for the Southern Illinois Irish Festival next October and two liquor license applications, one for the Premier Lounge, going in eventually at 104 West Jackson, where Big Boy's Q'in used to operate, and one for the Icebox Bar and Grill. The Premier Lounge is applying for a B2 license, which allows all of its revenue to come from the sales of alcohol, including wine, while the Icebox seeks an A2 license, which says 51% of the revenue must come from food sales and allows the sale of all alcohol. The other difference between the two is that an A2 license allows patrons under the age of 19 in the establishment as long as a full menu is offered. If the restaurant offers less than its full menu , i.e. only appetizers, at any time, that waiver vanishes.
According to Kevin Kirkwood, owner of the Icebox, he submitted his application for an A2 license early this spring, only to be told by Mayor Cole that Cole would sit on the application until after the election, leaving it up to the next council to act upon it, which I guess they will, next week.
