ALRC approves Sanuto LLC's adult entertainment tavern renewal and nominates Colin Borschach chair

On May 29, 2025, the Alcohol License Review Committee (ALRC) of Madison, Wisconsin, convened to address several key items related to alcohol licensing and entertainment permits. The meeting highlighted the ongoing management of entertainment licenses in the city, reflecting the committee's role in balancing community interests with business operations.

One of the primary discussions involved the approval of items related to entertainment licenses. The committee approved two pins in Hayes Place, both of which already hold entertainment licenses. However, 7 Iron Social was noted as lacking such a license, while Chiba Hut has a pending application that will be reviewed in the next month's meeting. This indicates a proactive approach by the committee to ensure that establishments comply with licensing requirements, which is crucial for maintaining public safety and community standards.

The meeting also addressed the renewal of the adult entertainment tavern license for Sanuto LLC. The renewal was moved by Aldo Rivera and seconded by Miss Westra, passing without objection. This renewal process is significant as it reflects the committee's oversight of adult entertainment establishments, ensuring they operate within the legal framework set by the city.

Another important aspect of the meeting was the election of the ALRC chair. Vice Chair Colin Borschach was nominated and accepted the position, indicating a continuity of leadership within the committee. This election is vital as the chair plays a crucial role in guiding discussions and decisions that impact the community's alcohol licensing landscape.

In summary, the ALRC meeting underscored the committee's ongoing efforts to regulate alcohol licenses and entertainment permits in Madison. The decisions made during this meeting will have implications for local businesses and the community, as the committee continues to navigate the complexities of alcohol regulation. Looking ahead, the pending application for Chiba Hut will be a focal point in the next meeting, as the committee seeks to ensure compliance and address community concerns.
