Summary
Licensing boards approved a tattoo parlor license for Jackson Barrows and several Class B victualler transfers including Fire Cantina Grill (176 Columbus Ave) and Modern Diner transfers; applicants described hours, staffing and neighborhood coordination and faced no public opposition at hearings.
The Board of Licenses and the City Council held public hearings and approved multiple license requests during the Dec. 10 meeting.
Jackson Barrows was granted a tattoo license (TAT-25-4) for Ink Lab Tattoo at 500 Armistice Boulevard after the applicant described 14 years’ industry experience, single-operator plans and disposable single-use supplies. No public opposition was recorded.
The council also approved a Class B victualler transfer with outdoor seating and entertainment to Fire Cantina Grill, Inc., at 176 Columbus Avenue (LQB-25-20), a transfer from the Roast House establishment. Applicants said they will operate seven days a week with varying hours, and managers confirmed TIPS/tip certification and other required training.
Another transfer approved was for the Modern Diner site (LQB-25-21) to VJR Baraka LLC at 364 East Avenue; applicants and supporters said they would retain the diner’s character, keep much of the staff, and maintain established hours. Councilors thanked the applicants for preserving long-standing neighborhood businesses.
All hearings closed without public opposition and motions to approve passed by voice or roll-call as recorded in the minutes.
