Carbondale liquor commission denies Styx nightclub's on‑premises liquor license application
Summary
The Local Liquor Control Commission voted to deny an on‑premises primary liquor license for Styx Veil LLC (doing business as Styx) at 517 S. Illinois Ave, citing multiple subsections of the city liquor code and noting outstanding required documents.
The Carbondale Local Liquor Control Commission voted to deny an on‑premises primary liquor license application for Styx Veil LLC, doing business as Styx, at 517 South Illinois Avenue.
Staff described the application and noted a prior denial on Dec. 12, 2023. The presentation referenced the Illinois Liquor Control Act and the Carbondale Liquor Code and listed outstanding items the applicant had not provided: a prorated liquor license fee, an Illinois business authorization certificate, a Jackson County Health Department permit, a certificate of insurance, and a valid lease or deed for the property.
Council member Lowes moved to deny the application “based on the following criteria from the liquor code… subsection c 1, c 2, c 5, c 6, c 8, and c 9,” and Miss Gilman seconded. After a roll call, the commission recorded the motion as passed and the application was denied.
The record includes staff note that the criminal history check did not reveal disqualifying information but that the applicant previously listed a different residence in a February 2025 legal complaint. The commission’s approval language during the presentation also made clear that approval could be made contingent upon receipt of outstanding items; in this case the commission opted for denial based on the cited code subsections.
Next steps were not specified on the record; staff noted outstanding items and the code sections used as the grounds for denial.
