Applicant seeks A-1 liquor license for 'Lord of Beers' tap house in Fox River Grove
Summary
Applicant Nishit Patel presented plans for a tap house called "Lord of Beers" offering 30+ beers, Indian-spiced bar foods and gaming; the Village Board agreed staff should prepare an ordinance to open an A-1 liquor license at the next meeting.
Nishit Patel, an applicant for a new business called "Lord of Beers," described plans to open a tap house in Fox River Grove and asked the Village Board to authorize creation of an A-1 liquor license.
Patel told the board the tap house "would serve 30+ different types of beers, a variety of bar foods infused with Indian spices, [and] gaming" and said he seeks a full liquor license so the business can offer other spirits as well. Administrator Soderholm introduced the request and framed it as a standard liquor-license consideration.
Trustees expressed support for the concept. Trustee Steve Knar said he liked the concept and urged that execution match the business plan and that the applicant take steps to advertise and promote the new tap house. Trustee Melissa Schladt praised the level of detail in the presentation. President Marc McLaughlin also signaled support.
The consensus of the board was for staff to prepare an ordinance to open a Class A-1 liquor license; staff will present the ordinance at the next available meeting for formal consideration and any required vote.
The public comment sign-in sheet for the meeting lists Nishit Patel as an attendee; no public comments were recorded in the minutes for the meeting's public comment period. The board also approved routine consent items earlier in the session.
