Antioch theater seeks new liquor classification to allow sealed‑container sales
Summary
Representatives for the Antioch theater asked trustees to consider a new liquor classification that would allow sealed‑container sales (no open pours) for a for‑profit movie/live theater; staff will work with the village attorney to draft ordinance language for future consideration.
Representatives for the Antioch theater presented a request for a new liquor classification tailored to a for‑profit movie and live theater that would allow sales of sealed containers only (no open pours).
"We're not doing any open pour or anything like that," the theater representative said, adding the request was for closed container service only. Staff confirmed there is no current classification that fits the theater's needs and said the village attorney would be asked to draft example language and return to the board for further consideration.
The theater's representative also clarified the request excludes gaming: "We are not seeking any gaming now or in the future either." Trustees asked staff to look at comparable local examples and to evaluate how the classification would interact with existing liquor locations and concession arrangements.
The board did not take a final licensing vote and directed staff and the attorney to draft ordinance language for a future meeting.
