Summary

After a public hearing with no members of the public speaking, the Northampton License Commission voted unanimously to change Subrosa LLC’s annual wine‑and‑malt license with cordial permit to an annual all‑alcohol license for operations at 33 West Street.

The Northampton License Commission voted March 18 to approve Subrosa LLC’s request to change its license category at 33 West Street from an annual wine‑and‑malt license with cordial permit to an annual all‑alcohol license.

The commission opened a public hearing and asked for public comment; none was offered. The applicant (referred to in the meeting as Kel) described operational adjustments and menu planning tied to the category change and said the business looked forward to operating with the additional flexibility the all‑alcohol license allows.

Commissioners indicated strong support for the change and closed the hearing before taking the motion to approve. The motion carried unanimously.

Commissioners also encouraged the applicant to return for a future conversation about outdoor seating plans for the upcoming spring and summer season.

Next step: Subrosa will proceed with the license change on the commission’s approval and follow up with staff on any outdoor seating plans.
