Finance committee recommends approval of Applebee’s liquor license transfer
Summary
The Cheyenne Finance Committee recommended approving a transfer of a retail liquor license for Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar after city and state review; one councilmember opposed the recommendation.
The Cheyenne Finance Committee recommended approval Monday of an application to transfer a retail liquor license for Apple Colorado LLC doing business as Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar at 1401 Del Range Boulevard.
Kylie Soden, city clerk, told the committee the application had been reviewed by applicable city departments and the Wyoming Liquor Division and that “requirements for the application have been met.”
The transfer was moved, seconded and put to a voice vote. Councilman Esteville voiced opposition: “I’m a no,” he said. The chair recorded the committee’s recommendation in favor of approval and sent the item on to the Monday night council meeting for final action.
Nut graf: The recommendation follows procedural review by city staff and the state liquor regulator. The committee did not resolve a separate question raised by a member about whether a bar-and-grill license rather than a full retail license would better match the business name; the clerk and committee said they would seek an answer before the council meeting.
Committee discussion and process: Kylie Soden, city clerk, presented the application and confirmed departmental and Wyoming Liquor Division review. Councilman Esteville repeated a concern previously raised about license type, saying a “bar and grill license fits this establishment better than a full retail license does,” and asked whether a representative of the applicant could speak to transferability questions. The committee chair said staff would pursue an answer before Monday night’s council meeting but proceeded with the committee vote.
Action details: The committee moved to approve the transfer application and sent a recommendation to the full council. The clerk noted that required application reviews were completed.
Where it goes next: The item was forwarded as a recommendation for the Monday night City Council meeting for final consideration and formal vote.
Ending: No public comment was recorded during the committee discussion, and committee members did not provide a final tally of named votes other than Councilman Esteville’s recorded “no.”
