Deanna Singh secures approval for affordable event space in Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Licenses Committee convened on April 8, 2025, to review several business license applications, including those for new event spaces and taverns. The meeting featured discussions on two notable applications, both of which received support from committee members.

Deanna Singh, representing a new event space located at 3121 West Wisconsin Avenue, presented her application for a license that would allow the serving of alcohol. Singh emphasized her commitment to providing an affordable and accessible venue for community events, highlighting the need for dignified spaces that do not price out local organizations. The committee expressed no objections to her proposal, and it was approved unanimously, with Alderman Jose Perez moving for approval and Alderman Morris voicing support.

The second application was from Ed Mohenes, representing Carnitas Mi Pueblo LLC, for a Class B Tavern License for Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant and Bar at 8412 West Morgan Avenue. The committee confirmed there were no holds or police reports against the applicants. Mohenes and his associate, Crystal Correa, were present to discuss their plans for the establishment. The committee's initial reception appeared positive, although further details on their proposal were not disclosed during the meeting.

Overall, the Licenses Committee's session underscored a proactive approach to supporting local businesses, with both applications reflecting a focus on community engagement and accessibility. The approval of these licenses marks a step forward for the applicants as they seek to enhance the local business landscape in Milwaukee.
