Council approves new liquor licenses for Sabor Mezcal and Tall Boys outlet

In the bustling atmosphere of West Bend City Hall, the Common Council convened on July 7, 2025, to address several key licensing matters that will shape the local business landscape. The meeting, marked by a series of motions and approvals, highlighted the council's commitment to supporting local establishments while ensuring compliance with regulations.

The council began by approving a Class B combination liquor license renewal for Sabor Mezcal, a decision that was met with unanimous support. Alderman Zingsheim and Alderman Butchlick led the motion, signaling a positive outlook for the establishment's continued operation.

Next on the agenda was a new Class B combination liquor license for Tall Boys. The council learned that the previous LLC associated with the location had been dissolved, prompting the need for a new application under a different LLC. Despite this administrative hurdle, the applicant, Mr. Ryan, assured the council that he was on track to open soon, pending final inspections and permits. The council expressed confidence in the process, noting that if the establishment did not open within 90 days, they would revisit the application for potential revocation.

The meeting also included the approval of a new cigarette license application, which passed without opposition. This was followed by an overview of the renewal applications for the upcoming year. The council noted that Applebee's, a regular license holder, had permanently closed, leading to the availability of a new liquor license. The council outlined the necessary steps to advertise this opportunity, with a timeline suggesting that applications would be reviewed in late summer.

As the meeting wrapped up, the finance committee took the floor, approving the minutes from their previous meeting. The smooth progression of motions underscored the council's efficiency and dedication to fostering a thriving business environment in West Bend.

With these decisions, the council not only supports local businesses but also ensures that the community remains vibrant and compliant with regulations. As the summer unfolds, residents can look forward to new openings and continued growth in their local economy.
