Quincy City License Commission approves 2026 alcohol licenses, lists non‑renewals and sets holiday rules
Summary
The Quincy City License Commission voted to approve section 12 (on‑premise) and section 15 (off‑premise) license renewals for 2026, named several licensees not renewing, accepted Dec. 9 minutes and reminded licensees of Christmas and New Year alcohol‑sale rules.
The Quincy City License Commission approved renewals of section 12 (on‑premise) and section 15 (off‑premise) alcohol licenses for 2026 at a Dec. 16, 2025 meeting. The commission also named several licensees that will not renew for 2026, accepted the minutes of Dec. 9 and announced holiday restrictions on alcohol sales.
Chair Crispano opened the meeting, read the open‑meeting notice and confirmed a quorum after a roll call in which Director Conley, Inspector DeCarly, Chief Kennedy and Chief Smith each announced they were present. The chair introduced agenda item 1, the annual renewal of section 12 (on‑premise) and section 15 (off‑premise) licenses for 2026.
The commission identified the following licensees as not renewing for 2026: Fab Cat, 1495 Hancock Street; Blue at Marina Bay, 307 Victory Road; a business listed at 1237 Hancock Street (name given in the record but unclear); Thai Sap Kitchen, 3 Brook Street; and Neighborhood Club of Quincy, 27 Glendale Road. These businesses were listed on the record as not seeking renewal for the coming calendar year.
A motion to approve the section 12 and section 15 licenses for 2026 was made and seconded. The commission voted in favor; the chair asked "All in favor?" and members replied "Aye," approving the renewals.
After concluding agenda business, the chair reminded licensees of specific holiday sale rules: off‑premise licensees may not sell alcohol on Christmas Day; on‑premise licensees may not sell alcohol until noon on Christmas Day; and all licensees may sell alcohol on New Year’s Day.
The commission then considered a motion to accept the minutes from the Dec. 9 hearing and to waive their reading. The motion passed after an affirmative vote. Chair Crispano closed the meeting by wishing attendees a happy holiday, announcing the next hearing for Jan. 13, 2026, and calling for and accepting a motion to adjourn.
Actions recorded at the meeting are limited to administrative approvals and minutes acceptance; no new license denials, conditions or contested hearings were recorded in the transcript.
