board had held anformational hearing on October 21st to receive public feedback from licenses regarding Mass General Laws chapter 138 section 12D, which would permit the board to allow lenses who have wine and all beverage licenses to trade in said license and be issued a non-transferable all alcoholic beverages
license. I'd like to keep the record open for a few more weeks to allow for more comments um with the goal of um uh another like a vote on this towards the end of November.
>> Uh that sounds good. >> I had a thought um that I don't think was raised and I want to kind of put on the record now. We could um how how are we we going to approach beer and wine license that kind of operate as like quick serve that don't have table
service? Do we feel differently about all alcohol in that kind of environment or should we address that? You know what I mean? Say I don't want to single anybody out but like Shake Shack just came up. They have
a beer and wine and I think they serve the beer and wine up at the counter and they don't really have staff kind of coming through serving tables watching that kind of thing. Do is that with the increase to all alcohol is that
something we should be concerned about or want to address? >> I think it's a really good question that we should continue to talk about. Danny, are we going to have another opportunity as a board to talk about some of these things? >> Absolutely. So, um, if you were keeping
the record open for now to receive more public comment, that could inform a board discussion at a later date prior to actually promulgating these regs and then adopting them, um, after there's a draft. So, there there's no draft yet. That will be done after, you know, the board discusses after seeing the public
comment. >> Yeah, I think Commissioner Curran raises a good question. Um, I haven't been able to think about that yet, but I think we'll have an opportunity to talk about that before we come out with our own rigs. >> Right. So, it sounds like no action taken today. The board will hold the
record open. Um, is there an end date you would like to see the record open or just indefinitely for now until um the board discusses? >> Um, I was hoping to have this wrapped up for our purposes by the end of November. What's our last voting meeting then?
November. >> Our final vote in November is November 20th. I think that right now I think that's reasonable. If we get an influx of comments, we feel like we need more time, we can move it to December, but I think that's reasonable. >> So hold the record open for comments
through November 20th. >> Yes. >> Great. >> Item number two, the board had deferred disposition of a violation Big House LLC doing business as Basement located at 100 Stewart Street. Date of this incident was December 20th, 2024 as a
sexual assault on premise employee on patron in violation of Mass General laws chapter 138 section 64 and chapter 265 section 22. >> I see no violation. >> I agree. >> I agree.
>> Item number three, uh the board had held a cancellation hearing on September 30th, 2025 and had deferred disposition until today. Um the L E C is Huntington Market Inc. doing business as Huntington Liquors located at 303 Huntington A.
Cancellation hearing due to the lenses lack of legal right to occupy the license premise. Filing of the annual renewal application for the licency entity and the non-use of the license in violation of Mass General laws chapter 138 sections 16A 23 6477
and board's rules 1.07A and I and 115A 3 and 4. I think we've given the lency adequate time to um come forward with the information we requested, whether that be a valid purchase and sale um or a
plan for the space as far as it relates to his um ability to occupy there. Um I vote to revoke the license effective at the end of this year, which means he cannot renew. Um and I Danny and I talked about this earlier. If there is
another application to go in there, I would be willing to hear that application. Um, we wouldn't be able to vote on it and send it to the ABCC until after this revocation takes effect at the end of the year. But we've heard nothing from the Lency or anyone on
their team in the last couple of weeks. So that's where I stand right now. >> That sounds good to me. >> Reasonable. So l e will not be able to renew at this location and the license will be revoked
December 31st um should there not be an application to transfer or uh move it prior to then. >> Yes, but I am open to hearing an application for another lency to go into that space in the meantime. Great.
>> Item number four for acknowledgement. The board is in receipt of correspondence from RRG LLC doing business as Banyan Bar in Refuge at 553 Tremont Street. Notifying the board of a temporary closure since June 30th due to a fire license he expects to reopen in the first quarter of 2026.
>> Acknowledged. >> Item number five, also for acknowledgement, the board is in receipt of correspondence from Strago Waterfront LLC at One Marina Park Drive, notifying the board of the closure of the license premise and the intent to transfer the license. Acknowledged.
>> Item number six, also for acknowledgement, the board is in receipt of correspondence from a High Street TRS LLC, doing business as High Street Place at 100 High Street, notifying the board uh that it has entered into a new management agreement with an already approved management operator, Big Heart
Little Space LLC, already approved by this board and the ABCC to open an additional space within the licensed premise to be known as Tiger Baby. >> Acknowledged. Yep. And item number seven for a vote. The board had deferred deliberation on the
following applications for new alcoholic beverages licenses which were complete and submitted prior to the May 23rd application deadline. Um these applicants all qualify for restricted licenses uh item uh in 02118. These are zip code restricted licenses where there
are currently for this year two all alcoholic beverage licenses available. The two applications before the board are for Shny Day LLC doing business as Mondo at 563 Columbus A and Elbario MX LLC doing business as Elbario Mexican
Grill at 809 to 811 Harrison A. >> I vote to approve uh both of these applications for 7-day all alcohol beverage license. >> I agree. >> I agree. >> Great. uh two zip code restricted
licenses pursuant to chapter 202 of the act of 2024 will be granted in 02119. There are four all alcoholic beverage licenses available pursuant to chapter 202 of the act of 2024. The one application before the board is JJ and
RLLC doing business as the mix vault at 720A to 720 Shamad A in Roxberry. I vote to approve one of those 7-day all alcohol beverage licenses to go to the mix vault. >> I agree.
>> I agree. >> Shall be granted. And in 02128, which is East Boston, um this is a neighborhood where there is one 2014 East Boston neighborhood restricted license available, which did come back to the board this year. There are seven applicants before the board who did meet
the May 23rd deadline. Those applicants are as follows. Altameira Banquetss LLC doing business as Mi Pblito Orient Heights at 964 Saratoga Street. Jigu LLC doing business as Cafe Jigu at 102 Meridian Street. La Aendansia Bakery
Corporation doing business as La Aendansia Restaurant at 59 Meridian Street. Los Arios Restaurant Inc. doing business as Los Arios Restaurant at 13 Meridian Street. Italian Express LLC doing business as Italian Express located at 336 Sumar Street. GR
Restaurant and Catering, Inc. doing business as Bono Restaurant and Catering at 269 to 271 Meridian Street and 355 Bennington Holdings LLC at 30 355 Bennington Street. So, we're in a unique position here
where we actually have more applications for the number of licenses available at this point in time. Taking a look at all of these applications, they're all great. I do feel confident as chair of the board that we will be able to help all of these applicants whether it's between the zip code restricted licenses
in the next round or the uh license upgrade um process that we plan on approving in some form in the next month. Um this just goes to show that East Boston is really bursting and and
vibrant and the community is growing. Um, taking a look at all the applications before us, um, my vote is to approve Bono Restaurant and Catering. They currently have a restricted um, beer and wine license if I'm not
mistaken, Danny. So, that license will come back to the board and we'll be able to reissue that license to another potential applicant. Um, they are an integral part of the East Boston community. They serve every community organization and cultural event. Uh they
serve both residents and visitors. They've they started off as a bakery and they've expanded their offerings with this restricted beer and wine license they've received from us in November 2023. They have a very diverse menu and I think the 7-day all alcohol beverage
license will be put to very good use at this location. >> Um I agree across the board and I want to emphasize the point of having the license turned back and we can reissue. Um, and you know, definitely agree that the expectation is that during the next
release we'll be able to help these applicants. So, I agree. >> No objection. I agree. >> And just for further comment, Danny, before we close out this one, I do expect to have the next um the next closing date for these
licenses. I shouldn't say closing date, but the next deadline for us to vote on these licenses. I hope to announce that in the next week or so. I'm looking at the first part of 2026. I'm hoping it after we get through renewals that we'll have time to schedule these very
important hearings by the end of January. So, I'm hopeful that these applications that we weren't able to assign licenses to this time will have licenses at the beginning of 2026. Thank you. And just to further clarify, the remainder of these applications that were not deliberated on today, um these
will be kept on file and an active status until the next deliberation. >> Yes, they do not need to reapply. They do not need to have a new community process. We will keep them in active status. >> Great. The remainder of these applications will remain in an active status for the uh next deliberation by
the board. Those are all the items before the board today that will adjourn this hearing. Thank you all and uh have a great rest of your day and weekend. >> You too. Thank you. You're good, too.
