Fireside Kitchen requested extended entertainment and alcohol hours; after neighborhood meetings and committee questions the Alcohol License Review Committee approved a condition requiring closure by 11 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and midnight on Friday–Saturday (New Year’s Eve excepted), to be sent to Common Council Oct. 6.

Fuller said the owners initially considered a later 2 a.m. schedule but negotiated with neighbors and proposed a more limited extension for weekends.
