The Quincy Board of License Commissioners convened on September 16, 2025, to address several key agenda items concerning local businesses and community events. The meeting began with a request from RKOQ Inc., operating as Royal Hot Pot Sushi KBBQ and Bar, seeking amendments to their alcohol beverage restaurant license at 227 Parking Way. The proposed changes included reinstating Sinyu Lau as the manager of record, reflecting a recent internal reorganization. Attorney Joseph Wang represented the establishment, explaining that Lau had previously held the position for a decade before a recent managerial shift. The board unanimously approved the request, allowing for changes in stock interest, officers, and directors.
Next on the agenda was a request from The Fours and Viva Trattoria for a temporary extension of their outdoor patios for the upcoming Coverpalooza event at Kilroy Square on September 21. Mark Carey, representing Mayor Coke, confirmed that the application was in order and aligned with Quincy 400 celebrations. The board approved this request without any objections.
The meeting continued with a proposal from the Ward 2 Civic Association for two special use permits for beer and wine licenses for their Fall Sunday in the Park events scheduled for October 5 at Riverfield and October 12 at Faxon Park. This request aims to enhance community engagement during these events.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's commitment to supporting local businesses and community activities, with all agenda items receiving swift approval. The next steps for the approved requests will be monitored as the events approach.
