Kenosha committee approves a slate of temporary outdoor extensions, cabaret and retail licenses; one license deferred
Summary
On June 9 the Kenosha Committee on Licenses and Permits approved multiple temporary outdoor extensions, cabaret/day‑use licenses, permanent outdoor extensions and retail license renewals by voice vote, and deferred one retail license pending district outreach.
The Kenosha Committee on Licenses and Permits approved a broad set of liquor, cabaret and outdoor‑service license applications at its June 9 meeting, taking several batches of items together and voting by voice on grouped motions.
Approvals included temporary outdoor extensions for events, new and probationary class B (beer and liquor) licenses upon surrender of existing licenses, permanent outdoor extensions, outdoor cafe approvals and yearly cabaret renewals. The committee recorded no adverse recommendations from the Kenosha Police Department for the items noted and, in several cases, passed motions with the condition that the applicant appear at a later meeting if requested by an alderperson.
Key approvals and actions (by agenda item):
- Item 7: Kenosha Beach House LLC — temporary outdoor extension (class B beer/class C wine-only) for an event June 20–22, 2025; no adverse police recommendation; motion approved by voice vote.

- Item 23: Yearly cabaret license applications effective July 1, 2025, were approved as a block.
Most motions were handled as grouped approvals after applicant hearings when needed; committee chairs and members used voice votes and recorded the chair’s aye for roll-call. Where applicants had questions or pending items, the committee directed them to coordinate with the city attorney or appear at the next council meeting.
A single item (Item 21) was deferred to a Monday special meeting with the condition that the applicant speak with the alderperson in the district before that meeting.
