Committee approves amendment extending deadline for Ruthie’s alcohol license; failure to open triggers revocation

Judiciary Administration Committee (City of La Crosse) · September 1, 2026

Summary

The committee approved a resolution amending a stipulation that extended the deadline for Odd Fellows Temple LLC (doing business as Ruthie’s) to complete remodeling and open; the stipulation states license will be automatically revoked if the establishment does not open by Oct. 30.

The committee considered Resolution 26Dash0866, which would approve an amendment to a stipulation regarding the alcohol license for Odd Fellows Temple LLC (doing business as Ruthie’s). Clerk Nicki Ellison explained the original stipulation gave the owners 90 days to open after a required remodel; the amendment extends that timeline as negotiated with the business and its attorney, Attorney Atterberry.

Clerk Ellison told the committee that the stipulation includes a firm deadline: if Ruthie’s does not open by Oct. 30, the city will automatically revoke the application without further hearing. Staff recommended approval and the committee moved and approved the stipulation amendment unanimously.
