Licensing board renews Sabor Mezcal, approves Tallboys new LLC license and cigarette license; Applebee's closure frees a regular liquor license
Summary
The Licensing Board approved a Class B combo renewal for Sabor Mezcal, granted a new Class B combo to Tallboys (new LLC, same location/ownership), approved a cigarette license application and was informed that Applebee's permanently closed and its regular liquor license will be available after public notice.
The West Bend Licensing Board approved several routine license items, including a renewal for Sabor Mezcal, a new Class B combo liquor license for Tallboys under a new LLC, and a new cigarette license. Board members also discussed the permanent closure of Applebee's and the resulting availability of a regular liquor license.
On the Tallboys application, the clerk explained the new application was necessary because the LLC tied to the prior renewal had been dissolved by the previous owner; the current operator had to reapply under a new LLC. The clerk said final inspections and a seller's permit remained outstanding but that repairs were complete and the applicant (identified in the record as Ryan) expected to open in the near future. The clerk said the city would bring a revocation back if the location did not open within 90 days because it has been closed for an extended period.
Staff also noted that the corporate office of Applebee's notified the city that the restaurant permanently closed (corporate notice dated May 12) and the city's letter of June 5 reminded the operator that the license would expire June 30. The clerk said the regular liquor license will be advertised per code and the city will accept applications for that now-available license; the process could return to the council in August or early September depending on application timing.
Votes: Motions to approve the Sabor Mezcal renewal, Tallboys new license and the cigarette license were made and carried by voice vote (ayes recorded; no recorded oppositions).
