The Pawtucket City Council convened on March 5, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including amendments to the agenda, public hearings on liquor license transfers, and discussions on local business operations.
The meeting began with a motion to amend the agenda to introduce a letter from Sanofi Law Associates regarding a dispute involving Mancini Beverage. The council unanimously approved the amendment, allowing for the introduction of the letter. The correspondence detailed a claim of $167.95 related to a license for Kismet Improv, located at 1005 Main Street. Following the introduction, the council voted to file the communication.
Next, the council moved to a public hearing concerning the transfer of a Class T theater license from Down City Improv LLC to Cartoon Cat Improv LLC, which operates as Kismet Improv. Timothy Breeze Thorndyke, representing Cartoon Cat Improv, provided details about the ownership transition and confirmed that the venue would continue to host comedy shows three nights a week. The council expressed support for the transfer, and after a brief discussion, the motion to approve the license transfer was unanimously carried.
The meeting proceeded to another public hearing for a Class B liquor license renewal for BMT 7 LLC at 605 Broadway, previously known as Broadway Bar and Grill. Bruno Teixeira, the new owner, outlined his plans to transform the establishment into a sports bar, emphasizing a commitment to maintaining a respectful environment for neighboring residents. Teixeira indicated that the bar would serve traditional food and feature acoustic music to minimize noise disturbances. The council discussed the importance of responsible operations and expressed optimism about the new ownership. The motion to approve the license renewal was also passed without opposition.
In conclusion, the Pawtucket City Council meeting addressed significant local business matters, with successful motions for both the theater license transfer and the liquor license renewal, reflecting the council's ongoing support for community development and responsible business practices.
