Oglesby approves liquor license for Gunny's Tap LLC owned by Marine Corps

Gunny's Tap LLC is set to receive a new liquor license following a recent LaSalle County government meeting, where officials discussed the establishment's progress and future plans. The bar, located in Oglesby and operated by the Marine Corps, has been open for business and is now ready to finalize its licensing.

During the meeting, it was noted that the owner had intended to present to the council but was unable to attend due to a broken freezer. However, council members expressed their support for the establishment, highlighting its potential to enhance the local dining and drinking scene. "I rode through there the other day... it was good," one member remarked, acknowledging the establishment's early challenges as it works to refine its offerings.

The council confirmed that all necessary paperwork for the liquor license has been completed, paving the way for approval at the next meeting in October. This change of ownership marks a significant step for Gunny's Tap, which is leasing the property from the Marine Corps.

In related discussions, officials reminded attendees that local licenses expire on June 30, and all current license holders have submitted their renewals. The meeting underscored the county's commitment to supporting local businesses while ensuring compliance with licensing regulations. As Gunny's Tap prepares for its official licensing approval, the community looks forward to its continued growth and contribution to the local economy.
