MeetingAug 31, 2026approved

Protection and Policy Committee - Aug 31, 2026

The committee approved a batch of liquor licenses, including a new Class B license for Player 2 Arcade Bar downtown and Salud's move to a regular license. One location, 510 S Monroe Ave, hit the state's 300-foot school buffer rule — the waiver was denied, but the beer license there was still approved.

The committee approved new liquor licenses for two downtown-area venues — Studio 112 on Main St and The Depot on Dousman St — plus a one-day tent expansion for Blue Collar Bar & Grill and the Blue Ribbons Baseball Club renewal. These decisions shape where residents can drink and how local businesses operate this summer.
