Later today, Boston’s City Council will consider a request from Councilor Pressley to host a hearing on ways to convince the Massachusetts State Legislature to increase the number of Boston liquor licenses.
Pressley (and I too) believe Boston’s antiquated approach to doling out liquor licenses needs to stop. The system has put a strangle hold on new businesses wanting to open. Recently I wrote about how restaurant owner, Brian Piccini proposed buying Columbus Cafe’s liquor license for nearly $300k so he could open his new South End steak house, Boston Chops. Is it any wonder Boston lacks affordable dining options?
