[Neighbors] Neighbors_nobhill-nm Digest, Vol 151, Issue 9

Subject: Liquor License transfer.
I support a liquor license for the new occupants of the old Imbibe. More
investment in Nob Hill is a net good and these folks seem to have a good
track record. If they are willing to take a risk with their funds, I think
we should support them. We've seen businesses come and go along Central,
and these folks seem to have enough capital to make a go if it.

> >> implies , this entity provides a moveable feast or catering services. If
> >> other catering services wish to serve alcohol and do not have a liquor
> >> license, they must ?picnic? a liquor license from a licensee who as
> part of
> >> the ?picnic? process, must provide the liquor and service staff. As a
> >> result, the food caterer loses compete control of the event as control
> is
> >> split between the food caterer and the picnic license owner. When the
> >> Library Moveable Feast was formed, it consolidated all control with the
> >> Library Moveable Feast.
> >>
> >> Furthermore, the applicant is planning on investing money into
> renovating
> >> the space as it makes little sense to provide a nice venue for events if
> >> their event center looks like a dump as it currently does. It is the
> >> applicants hope that their Nob Hill neighbors will utilize the space for
> >> their own events such as corporate events; anniversaries and similar
> >> celebrations.
> >>
> >> Finally, if the owners can not book private events on Friday and
> Saturday
> >> nights, they have considered opening the event center on those nights
> only
