Board approves exception for small tavern and tasting room at 272 NW 36th St
Summary
The board approved a conditional exception to permit on‑site alcohol service for a 1,472‑sq‑ft tavern at 272 NW 36th St conditioned on a long list of operational restrictions; the applicant said events would be ticketed and limited to about 20 guests.
Staff presented an exception request to permit an alcohol service establishment at 272 NW 36th St, in a T680 transit zone. Mawusi Watson said staff reviewed operational plans, valet/security/crowd-control and noise attenuation and recommended approval with standard conditions; the tavern area in the rear of an existing liquor store is approximately 1,472 square feet.
The applicant said the back space would operate as a small, ticketed wine‑tasting and spirits education venue limited to about 20–25 guests, emphasizing a low‑impact, appointment-style model. "We're not gonna do any more than 20 guests at a time," the applicant said. Board members noted the detailed conditions that accompany the approval and cautioned that any change to operations could require returning to the board. The roll call recorded a 7–0 approval.
