Quincy License Board approves six one‑day and full‑service alcohol licenses

The Quincy City License Board Commissioners voted on May 27, 2025, to approve six alcohol license requests, including special‑use one‑day permits for neighborhood events and changes or new full‑service restaurant licenses for local businesses.

The approvals included a one‑day liquor permit for Porchfest Quincy on June 28, a series of one‑day weekend permits for Walliston Hill Neighborhood Association’s Saturdays in the Park in Safford Park in September, a one‑day permit for Vang/Van Coffee Bar’s May 31 ticketed event, a change‑of‑ownership common victualer (CV) license for Banh Mi Boston, and full all‑alcohol restaurant licenses for Olindy’s Quincy Ave Lanes and Mirchi Nation. All motions were made and seconded on the record and carried by voice vote with no recorded nays.

Why it matters: these approvals authorize alcohol service at neighborhood cultural events and allow existing and new downtown and neighborhood restaurants to expand or change operations, which the board framed as routine licensing oversight and local economic activity support.
