Shelbyville Beer Board approves Bar VIP Sports’ beer permit for 314 Madison Street
Summary
The Shelbyville Beer Board on Dec. 10 approved a beer-on-premises permit for Bar VIP Sports (314 Madison St.) after the applicant amended her application to correct ownership and citizenship answers; the permit may be picked up the next day upon payment of fees.
The Shelbyville Beer Board on Dec. 10 approved a beer-on-premises permit for Bar VIP Sports, a proposed bar at 314 Madison Street, Suite D, after the applicant amended portions of her application in the meeting.
Board members swore in Mauricio Campos as the applicant’s translator before taking testimony. The translator said the applicant manages the first floor of the establishment, which the applicant described as a bar/restaurant with two pool tables, a jukebox, a stage and seating for roughly 50–60 patrons. The applicant said she does not sell liquor other than beer and that she rents the building rather than owning it.
A board member questioned the application’s answer to whether the owners/operators are U.S. citizens, noting the form indicated “yes” while background information showed the applicant is a legal resident. The board asked the applicant to amend the form: cross out “yes,” mark “no,” and initial the change. The board then voted to accept amendments to application items 1, 3 and 8.
After the amendments, a motion to approve the beer permit carried by voice vote. Staff told the applicant the completed permit could be picked up after 11 a.m. the next day. Staff explained payment options: a prorated privilege tax of $8.33 for the remainder of the year and a $100 annual fee due in January; the applicant was free to pay both immediately or pay $8.33 now and receive an invoice for the $100 in January.
Details provided at the meeting about operations included weekly hours (Tue–Thu and Sun 3 p.m.–11 p.m.; Fri–Sat 3 p.m.–2:30 a.m.), approximately 11 four-person tables plus two larger tables, and staffing of about two employees. Board staff confirmed the point-of-sale system requires birth dates for sales. The applicant indicated she has not previously held a beer permit in Shelbyville or another jurisdiction.
The board recorded and approved the application amendment and the permit; staff directed the applicant on payment and permit pickup. No formal conditions beyond the application corrections were stated during the approval.
The board is expected to process the permit paperwork per normal staff procedures; the applicant was instructed to return to city hall to complete payment and collect the permit.
