Woburn denies Go Los Zeros' stand‑up drinking and entertainment licenses over karaoke and neighborhood noise concerns

The Woburn City License Commission voted to deny both a stand‑up drinking permit and an entertainment license for Giulio Z Two's restaurant, known in the transcript as Go Los Zeros at 502 Main Street, following repeated resident complaints about karaoke noise and a prior pledge by the restaurant that it would not host karaoke.

During the public hearing resident Morgan Lebron Sanchez, who lives nearby, said she could hear activity from her home across a narrow alley and opposed karaoke because she feared late‑night disturbances. Sanchez told the commission: "it's loud... You can literally hear everything, like, if it's in my own home." City council members and Captain Murphy of the Woburn Police Department also urged caution and emphasized monitoring of parking and noise issues in the area.

Commissioners noted that at an earlier meeting representatives of the restaurant had given assurances — including to Commissioner McGrath and neighbors — that karaoke would not be allowed. Commissioners said those assurances shaped their willingness to approve a liquor license previously and expressed frustration that the restaurant later applied for karaoke. One commissioner said there was "absolutely 0 chance" he would support the entertainment or stand‑up petition because of those prior promises.

After public comment, a motion to deny both the stand‑up drinking permit and the entertainment license was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. The commission recorded the denials and invited the restaurant to return at a later date if conditions change and neighborhood concerns are addressed.
