Committee recommends liquor license transfer to Uncle Jimmy’s Bar and Grill; approves short‑term lodging license for New Berlin duplex

The City of New Berlin Committee of the Whole on Feb. 11 voted unanimously to recommend that the Common Council approve two license items in the Licenses & Permits section.

City Clerk described a class B combination liquor license application from Le Dent LLC doing business as Uncle Jimmy’s Bar and Grill at 18540 West National Avenue. The packet notes the current license for that establishment is held by Mustang Shelley’s, which submitted an intent to surrender the license; the surrender made the license available for the new applicant. Committee members moved, seconded and approved the recommendation to the Common Council without recorded opposition.

The committee also recommended approval of a 2025 short‑term lodging (transient) license to Mark Nelson for the property at 17303 West Greenfield Avenue. City staff said the property is a duplex with a top unit (two bedrooms, one bath) and a bottom unit (two bedrooms, one bath), four sleeping quarters in total and a maximum occupancy listed as 10. The Department of Community Development inspected the property and passed it, and the short‑term lodging license is issued on an annual basis for 2025. Alderman Maxey, representing the district where the property is located, made the motion to approve; the motion passed unanimously.

Both license recommendations were forwarded to the Common Council for final action. No conditions or amendments to the applications were recorded in the committee discussion.
