Committee hears proposal for 'Page and Parlor' bookstore and wine bar liquor license
Summary
Representative Lombardi and applicant Austin Guston Helms briefed the committee on HB7,227, a request for a Class B liquor license at 150 Broadway for a bookstore-wine bar called Page and Parlor; committee asked about proximity to Bradley School and recorded no objections.
Representative Lombardi presented House Bill 7,227 on Jan. 27, asking the committee to permit a Class B liquor license for a proposed business at 150 Broadway.
Sponsor Lombardi said the applicants — Austin and Philip Guston Helms — plan a small cultural venue, and applicant Austin Guston Helms testified that the business will be called Page and Parlor, described as a bookstore and wine bar with a reading lounge and programming such as poetry readings and author events. Helms said anticipated hours would be Wednesday through Sunday, generally closing by 6 p.m. on weekdays and about 8 p.m. on weekends.
Representative Speakman asked whether the location is within 200 feet of a school; Helms confirmed the Bradley School is nearby and the committee noted the standard proximity review. No objections to the license were recorded in committee testimony. The committee closed the hearing on HB7,227.
Ending: The applicant's testimony described cultural programming and modest evening hours; any licensing decision will be subject to local and statutory proximity and remonstrance reviews.
