I do not typically reply all, but need to say that I am in strong favor of Sidewinders being welcomed into our neighborhood. They are not simply another liquor license. This is a long-running Albuquerque business that is a cultural institution to all members of the LGBT community (and straight allies).This will be such a great addition to our neighborhood. We should be proud they chose the Nob Hill area, and welcome them with open arms.One perk of having a popular business open and flourishing (rather than an empty building "for lease") is having eyes on the street. I would much rather walk on Central knowing that there are others around.Nicole WilsonOn Mon, Jun 29, 2020 at 5:48 PM Patricia Mcpheron via Neighbors_nobhill-nm <neighbors_nobhill-nm@mailman.swcp.com> wrote:Hi Gary and Neighbors,_______________________________________________When I read this request I had the same reaction as Karen.

I don't know a lot about business, but my gut reaction is that I would strongly prefer to NOT have this type of business at this address.
While they may have had no liquor citations, it will be open too late and, from all appearances, be a nightclub. "They want a new location" means Sidewinders, with large crowds, right in our residential area. The problems with the other nightclub (nearer the University) strongly suggests this is a wrong direction for our neighborhood quality of living.
Thanks for the opportunity to give input!

Nob Hill Neighbors,
Your association received the attached notice of request for transfer of liquor license location late last week. Hearing is July 8.
When we receive these we send them to our email list to gather input. When input is neutral or positive we generally don’t develop an association position. When neighbors express questions or concerns we seek the information. If there is strong concern, we call a special board meeting to explore developing an association position.
I called the agent, Kyla Stoker. She said the operators of the business are Michael Burdick and Renato Burdick. They operated the Sidewinder’s business on Central east of Wyoming starting in 2017. She said they did not receive any alcohol service citations. They wanted a new location.
She provided the attached menu which they are now serving at 4200 Central Ave. with no alcohol.
She said current hours are noon-9 pm. Once allowed by governmental authorities they will be open noon-2am. (She said hours of operation are not part of the liquor license transfer of location.)
Feel free to call Ms. Stoker. I told her about our email list so she may address questions here on the email list.
Feel free to provide written comments to the hearing officer or attend the hearing whether the association takes a position or not.
Kind regards,
Gary Eyster
President, Nob Hill Neighborhood Association
