2 liquor licenses recommended to state board

Posted

The Peoria City Council recommended approval for liquor licenses at two Peoria businesses.

One is a person transfer for an on-sale all liquor license for Coop’s Bar and Grill, 8455 W. Peoria Ave.

The other is a new restaurant  liquor license for #1 Brothers Pizza, 9815 W. Happy Valley Road.

Coop’s Bar and Grill, an existing bar and grill, applied for a Series 6 permit that will allow the bar retailer to sell and serve spirituous liquors, primarily by individual portions, to be consumed on the premises and in the original container for consumption on or off the premises.

#1 Brothers Pizza is an existing restaurant where the new owners applied for a Series 12 license, which is a non-transferable license that allows for the restaurant to sell and serve all types of spirituous liquor solely for consumption on the premises. A restaurant license requires that at least 40% of the restaurant’s gross revenue comes from the sale of food. Failure to meet the 40% food requirement may result in revocation of the license.

For both businesses, a public hearing notice was posted for at least 20 days, and no comments were received during the posting period.

Both license applications were reviewed according to state law and all departments gave approvals.

The city must make a recommendation to the Arizona State Liquor Board regarding the approval of applications to sell alcoholic beverages in the city, according to Arizona law.

The standard for the city’s recommendation is whether the best interest of the community will be served by the issuance of these licenses and whether the public convenience is served.
