Several small-business licenses and entertainment permits were approved after brief staff presentations and applicant confirmations; one item was placed on file without prejudice.

Key approvals and outcomes (selected items):

- Consent agenda: Adopted. The consent agenda included approval recommendations and referrals for multiple operator, temporary and change-of-agent applications (see detailed list below). Clerk’s staff read the consent package into the record and the committee adopted it without objection.

- Cherokee Park / TPC Wisconsin items: Items 9 and 20 (see separate article) were recommended for council approval (change of premises for tournament week and tournament concession license).

- Item 19 (Cherokee Park training/academy, 5105 N Sherman Ave): Approved. Applicant described the facility as a members‑only golf academy; committee approved the new license.

- Item 10 (Fireside Kitchen / Fiaside Kitchen): The new license and entertainment request were granted with a condition that entertainment cease by 11:00 p.m. nightly (New Year’s Eve excepted). Applicant confirmed neighborhood outreach and acceptance of the 11 p.m. cutoff.

- Item 11 (Hotel Indigo entertainment): Approved. Applicant confirmed required notifications to the neighborhood association and police district.

- Items 12 & 13 (Wisconsin Masonic Center Foundation): Approved contingent on completion of background checks for board members and completion of application details. Staff identified application fields that needed updating; applicant agreed to provide names and background-check information to MPD.

- Items 15 & 16 (Glow Glue bistro; entertainment): Approved. Applicant described a small-plates wine-forward restaurant and limited, primarily unamplified music.

- Items 17 & 18 (SaunaDay): Item 17 (wine license) granted; item 18 (entertainment) was placed on file without prejudice per staff recommendation.

- Item 21 (Izakaya Koryama): Granted with conditions consistent with restaurant operation: establishment must meet the definition of a restaurant under MGO 38.02 and must have food available during operating hours.

- Item 22 (Esquire Club): Applicant (previous operator retaking the business) was present and confirmed operations; committee approved the application.

Why it matters: The approvals enable a range of small businesses and event operators—restaurants, hotels, community halls and specialty venues—to operate with alcohol service and, where requested, entertainment. Several decisions included neighborhood- or staff- suggested conditions (hours limits, contingent background checks) to balance business operations with public-safety and neighborhood concerns.

Votes and motions: The minutes record that most motions were adopted by voice vote after a mover and second were placed on the floor. When the committee imposed conditions, applicants accepted them during the hearing.

Detailed items read into record as part of the consent agenda (selected): operator license for Samuel W. Gabler (item 2); temporary class B for Sun Prairie Lions Club (item 3); change of agent for Goodman Community Center (items 4 and 5); entity reorganization Monona Catering LLC (item 6); request to extend license issuance beyond 180-day limit under MGO 38.05 for MPL Corporation Investment at 823 Williamson Street (item 7); public hearing referral for a new license (item 14) and municipal approval determination for Carbon 4 Brewing LLC (item 25). Committee adopted the consent agenda recommendations.

Next steps: Items recommended to council will be scheduled for the Common Council for final action according to the city clerk’s timeline. Several applicants were asked to supply additional documentation (e.g., board background checks for the Wisconsin Masonic Center) before council consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Alcohol License Review Committee: Meeting of April 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Alcohol License Review Committee approved a series of alcohol and entertainment licenses April 16, moving smaller or uncontested items by single motions and placing one item on file without prejudice pending additional information.","taxTitle","Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin","taxId",2852,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6270964,"ALRC recommends temporary liquor arrangement for TPC Wisconsin during American Family Championship",1376,3832000,5208000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3030567-59aa50b2b653a9a713b8c227af06db15&start=3832&end=5208","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3030567-59aa50b2b653a9a713b8c227af06db15/thumbnail_3832000.jpg","/articles/6270964/Madison/Dane-County/Wisconsin/ALRC-recommends-temporary-liquor-arrangement-for-TPC-Wisconsin-during-American-Family-Championship","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270964-46d9d9759bddcffaad550a26e7b92807/orig.mp4?Expires=1771083833&Signature=l3giD43msO6EBUVKlyzV9kniS4Wpq6CD7FQeotAYeJxrj4Ad~ZvWC1jzh2VRkbdfaxD6jcegrrEFC~dDOWtvcpgJ~IOtHRTKoTkEOAGFAkqX4Mnhyvk27PW~evN7z1H-ldFP9zYxd9Kedmxuq43PFkz5jxFT0gnggURFeNRMDz6hjG1-fYeCU1xku4DXm7mH7B~CwNjU4WY-99mTVDLQxVHdpLPdtoc~CEnM7W2Q2SAj0TJt4ZfSSzJdWr4mei9homS86KZTmjreO0ydrXta0z6bBKQR1PdOJ3VsG-sS554XqHZrgXvtqPZSzUegXERYpBx4HEQY4AzSCWXZ0~rxaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alcohol License Review Committee on April 16 recommended that the Common Council grant a temporary change of premises and a short-term concession license to enable alcohol service during the American Family Championship at TPC Wisconsin.

Under the arrangement described to the committee, TPC Wisconsin will restrict its regular liquor license to the clubhouse for the tournament week (June 2–8). The tournament’s concessionaire will operate under a separate, temporary license to sell alcohol on the golf course during the event. The applicant said the change is limited to the tournament week and TPC’s regular license will revert to its prior coverage after the event.

Tournament director Nate Pokrass told the committee the event has run for years at University Ridge and is expected to have a significant local economic impact. “All proceeds from the event do stay in Madison,” Pokrass said; he and the applicant said the tournament has distributed roughly $20 million in charitable grants since 2016, with American Family Children’s Hospital historically the largest single beneficiary.

City staff and the applicant said they coordinated the licensing approach with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue to ensure the temporary vendor arrangement complied with state rules. Attorney Jennifer Zilavy told the committee she and the Department of Revenue advised that the temporary arrangement and the vendor’s application were the correct vehicle for the tournament.

Concerns from neighbors focused on outreach and parking plans; Pokrass and the TPC representative said they had held listening sessions, notified neighborhood associations, and that parking and parks-related approvals would be handled in separate permitting processes. Alders on the committee pressed for clear community outreach; Pokrass outlined a schedule of neighborhood meetings and listening sessions and said the public days of the tournament occur during the weekend portion of the week.

Motion and outcome: Alder Figueroa Cole moved to recommend council grant items 9 (change of premises for TPC Wisconsin) and 20 (tournament concession license). Alder Glenn seconded. The motion carried without objection.

Additional action: The committee also approved item 19, a new license for a Cherokee Park training/academy facility associated with the TPC property; that application was considered separately and approved at the same meeting.

Next steps: The committee’s recommendation will go to the Common Council for final action; the temporary vendor license will cover June 2–8 and the applicant indicated the tournament intends to return under a similar arrangement in future years under a multi‑year contract with TPC Wisconsin.","The committee approved a temporary change that restricts TPC Wisconsin’s liquor license to the clubhouse for tournament week, while a tournament concessionaire will hold a short-term license to serve alcohol on the course June 2–8.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6270969,"ALRC approves limited alcohol sales area outside Breese Stevens Field for concerts, with conditions",2406,1372000,3778000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3030567-59aa50b2b653a9a713b8c227af06db15&start=1372&end=3778","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3030567-59aa50b2b653a9a713b8c227af06db15/thumbnail_1372000.jpg","/articles/6270969/Madison/Dane-County/Wisconsin/ALRC-approves-limited-alcohol-sales-area-outside-Breese-Stevens-Field-for-concerts-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270969-c73b4d2b4492c7d9f6c6e6dbfe47062d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771083833&Signature=VFZi3lhmFzeeEd6ql89thnRDLlCkrSkxd42OPSebPXUQWRD6PerIu5ifRnN9WYLBZlCCfRtX-x2FlRtFh3KDOggsFoRN20MqoD-pXXFfrhQBecUY9cFtcla1mzhdIJzWdVCohEQniz0mv3-Y5du3ovVmZSUhO4HQfB28d7ENS4DvBsqiqlPRMbqbWXItYBHXwXaVFOX9tqBxAY7CrpOkwiXJhBd8Agux63xLtCXOOeN9hEf~9dP5LHx2mRRXvwkYufvVKQDXPa8hY2rl8T9Vuy0AlqmKizvG9yFBre5s6WmRe1neFmGDqaGrP62bTONejik-FY13BkNr5Gxm0cDwnA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alcohol License Review Committee on April 16 recommended approval of a change of license premises that will allow alcohol sales in a defined area just outside Gate 1 at Breese Stevens Field for concert events.

The committee’s approval was conditional: alcohol sales outside the stadium walls will be allowed only for concerts, may begin up to two hours before gates open and must cease when the concert ingress begins, and the change will take effect only after the licensee obtains all other necessary city approvals, including an amended street-use permit (and any required parks permissions). The committee recorded the motion as adopted by voice vote.

Why it matters: The expansion is meant to address crowding and sanitation problems that occur before large concerts by creating a managed pre-concert gathering area with sales and restroom access. Neighbors and alderpersons pressed the applicant and staff for assurances about pedestrian and bicycle access and about which approvals are required before alcohol can be sold in the proposed triangle plaza outside the stadium.

Applicant Tristan Straub, who applied on behalf of Big Top Events LLC (operating Breese Stevens Field events), told the committee the plan was to use roughly a third of the plaza outside Gate 1 to provide points of sale, additional restroom access and staffed barricades to protect bike/pedestrian lanes. “We have also… created a new map that kind of slides that gate about 7 or 8 feet in that would allow… the bicycle parking… and the public sidewalks [to remain] open,” Straub said when asked about circulation and bicycle parking.

The city attorney’s office representative, Attorney McReynolds, advised the committee on the body’s limited legal authority: the ALRC can decide whether alcohol may be allowed in a defined area, but it cannot by itself authorize the applicant to use city-owned streets or park plazas. McReynolds advised conditions that tie ALRC approval to other city approvals. Alder Oliver Revere and other members pressed the applicant on outreach; Straub said he had held meetings and exchanged e-mails with the neighborhood association and park division staff and that the first concert using the expanded premise would be June 6.

Captain Hartman of the Madison Police Department told the committee he did not expect public-safety problems and recommended sales begin two hours before gates open rather than two hours before the music starts. “I don’t foresee any issues immediately,” Hartman said, adding staffing at past concerts had been adequate.

Motion and outcome: Alder Figueroa Cole moved to approve the change of premises with three conditions (sales allowed only if all city approvals are completed including the street-use permit; sales only for concerts; sales may begin two hours before gates open and must cease once the concert begins). Alder Revere seconded; there was no recorded roll-call; the motion was adopted.

Next steps: The approval is conditional on the licensee obtaining any street-use permit amendments and any parks board permissions necessary to occupy the plaza or street area. The applicant agreed to the committee’s conditions at the hearing. If those other approvals are not granted, the ALRC’s condition states alcoholic sales in that plaza are not permitted.","The Alcohol License Review Committee approved a conditional change of premises allowing alcohol sales outside Breese Stevens Field for concert nights only, contingent on required city approvals and time limits on sales.","actionData","errors"]
