Lindenhurst board approves liquor license allowing video gaming for Sammie's at 2122 Grand Avenue
Summary
On Sept. 25 the Lindenhurst Village Board adopted Ordinance 23-9-2274 to add a Class E‑V liquor license for Sammie's at 2122 Grand Avenue, permitting beer, wine and on-site video gaming; the measure passed 4–2.
The Lindenhurst Village Board on Sept. 25 adopted Ordinance 23-9-2274 to amend Section 111.20 of the Village Code and grant a Class E‑V liquor license to Sammie's for a proposed location at 2122 Grand Avenue. The ordinance permits the sale of beer and wine and allows video gaming on the premises.
Sammie's business partners David Keith and Joseph Guinta spoke during the public-comment portion to describe their years in business and outline the planned seating. The restaurant’s floor plan indicates seating for 51, which under village standards would allow up to five gaming machines.
Trustee Suchy moved to adopt the ordinance; Trustee Grace seconded. The board approved the amendment on a roll-call vote, Aye 4 (Mayor Dominic Marturano and Trustees Patty Chybowski, Dawn Suchy and Ron Grace) and Nay 2 (Trustees Pat Dickson and Heath Rosten). The minutes record the motion as carried.
The packet materials referenced a previous, similar request in 2019 from Grande Jake’s, whose floor plan then showed 59 seats. The ordinance as adopted changes the number of licenses authorized under Section 111.20 to accommodate Sammie’s request.
The village did not record a public hearing or Planning Commission recommendation for this item in the minutes; the board proceeded with the ordinance vote during the regular meeting. The ordinance was adopted during the Sept. 25 session and is reflected in the approved minutes.
