The Town of Danvers Select Board approved a set of liquor license applications and event permits on May 20.
AAM Kelly’s Danvers LLC, doing business as Kelly’s Roast Beef at 165 Endicott Street, received board approval to transfer a wine and malt beverages common victualler license to the new ownership listed in the application.
