Alvarado's liquor-license request in Kankakee deferred for ward consultation
Summary
A liquor-license application for Alvarado's at 150 East Station Street was discussed; the applicant had submitted materials but was not present, and committee members agreed to defer action until Alderman Barron and ward representatives can meet with the applicants.
Committee members reviewed a liquor-license packet submitted by Alvarado's for a downtown location at 150 East Station Street, Suite 1. Staff noted signage at the location and remodeling seen in submitted photos, and described the restaurant as offering Mexican food with plans to expand services to include alcoholic beverages, craft cocktails and specialty margaritas.
The applicant did not attend the meeting; materials were included in the meeting packet. Committee members said Alderman Barron (the ward representative) had discussed the application with committee members and that Barron and Alderman O'Brien planned to speak with the applicants. One committee member said they wanted to see businesses remain at a location longer than six months before granting long-term approvals.
The committee agreed to hold action until the ward alderman could meet with the applicants and potentially return the item at a future meeting. The packet and photos will remain available to committee members for further review.
