Inkwell Beach House approved for all‑alcohol license and entertainment; wastewater seating limits noted
Summary
Select Board approved an annual all‑alcohol license, a common victualler permit and seven‑day entertainment hours for Inkwell Beach House (manager Albert L. Calloway Jr.), while the wastewater department noted the second floor is signed off with no seats and adding seats could trigger a change‑of‑use review.
At a 5:30 p.m. public hearing the Select Board approved multiple licenses for Inkwell Operations LLC d/b/a Inkwell Beach House at 9 Oak Bluffs Avenue, with Albert L. Calloway Jr. listed as manager.
Applicants and representatives discussed floor plans and occupancy. Wastewater Manager Hickey confirmed he had signed off on the initial application showing no seating on the second floor; if the applicant later installs seats upstairs, Wastewater would consider that a change of use requiring a hearing before the Wastewater Commission. Calloway described the upstairs as flexible open space intended for events and after‑party use but said his present intent was no fixed tables upstairs.
The board approved the annual all‑alcohol license, the common victualler application and an entertainment license authorizing operations Monday–Sunday from 11 a.m. to midnight. Licensing staff and the applicant were directed to coordinate ABCC paperwork and ensure wastewater occupancy rules are observed.
