The Nampa City Council voted to approve an expansion and transfer of an on-premise alcohol license allowing Syringa Lounge to operate into the adjacent space branded Black Pines Saloon at 108 and 112 12th Avenue South.

Morgan, a city staff member presenting the item, said the move is an expansion of the business footprint under a single license and single owner; she told the council the application had been approved by the state and county and that Planning & Development reviewed the request. Counsel confirmed police had vetted the expansion as part of the process that involves multiple agencies.

Mayor Klink moved to approve the license; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll-call vote with the council recording unanimous support.

The approval covers on-premise sale of beer, wine and liquor by the drink and permits the existing Syringa operation to extend service into the adjoining space under the single license. Staff said the adjacent space will provide more food service and a different concept while remaining under the same ownership.
