Select Board approves entertainment license amendment for Beacon Street restaurant with 10 p.m. outdoor cutoff
Summary
The board amended and approved an entertainment license to allow music on a new rooftop dining deck at a Beacon Street restaurant, limiting outdoor activity and music to 10 p.m. and retaining existing indoor hours.
The Select Board on Tuesday approved an amendment to the entertainment license for D2 Restaurants LLC (doing business as an establishment on Beacon Street) to add music and limited live acoustic performance on a newly approved roof deck, with all outdoor activity and music to stop by 10 p.m. Stephanie Boudreaux, attorney for the applicant, said the application requested weekend and weekday radio/tape music and occasional light instrumental or vocal music; the applicant agreed to lower the originally requested 11 p.m. outdoor end time to 10 p.m. after board concerns about neighborhood impacts were raised. The board adopted language to retain the restaurant’s indoor entertainment hours while restricting the newly approved outdoor rooftop activity — radio/tape music and occasional acoustic instruments — to 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Saturday. Board and staff comments: Select Board members asked staff to monitor the new rooftop activity, noting the proximity of residences and the novelty of an outdoor roof deck for the town. The applicant assured the board of a willingness to be a “good neighbor” and to work with any neighbors who raised concerns. Outcome: The board voted unanimously to approve the license as amended. Staff will log the license amendment and monitor any neighbor complaints.
