Some interesting liquor license change requests coming up at the LCC meeting on August 27. Italian village requests a change from a class A1 (beer and wine only), to a Class A2 (allows all liquors).
Curbside (Bistro 51?), located in the old Icebox Bar and Grill location, is requesting a class A2 license. An A2 license has no cap in terms of numbers allowed but required the location to generate 51% of of its revenues from food sales. A number of "restaurants" in the past have attempted to skirt the law by getting an A2 license then quickly not meet the 51% requirement. A business with an A2 or an A1 license is subject to auditing and can be shut down if it is found to generate more that 51% of its sales in liquor.
Update: The Bistro 51 logo, which covered the Icebox logo, is now covered itself by the Curbside logo.
Finally, and this one really surprised me, long-time downtown stalwart New Kahala Fast Foods is requesting an A1 license. A Bud Light with your Cashew Chicken?
