A
A
P
This
presents
a
little
bit
of
a
different
scenario
than
we're
used
to
mr
strength.
Unexpectedly
went
into
the
hospital
and
became
sicker
and
sicker
eventually
died.
Prior
to
his
death,
he
executed
an
instrument
of
transfer
transferring
his
interest
in
the
corporation
to
his
longtime
companion,
ms
atkinson.
P
Actually
miss
atkinson
has
been
operating
alongside
mr
strength
for
close
to
four
over
40
years
in
this
operation
and
his
other
operation,
which
was
great
scott
in
alston.
Mr
philbin,
who
is
a
citizen
and
is
a
resident
of
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts,
has
also
been
with
the
organization
for
close
to
three
decades.
P
He
has
been
the
operational
manager
of
the
premises
working
as
mr
strength's
right
arm,
and
now
he
is
coming
on
board,
as
our
manager
of
record,
the,
as
you
can
see
from
the
the
o'brien's,
has
had
an
exemplary
record
and
we
just
plan
on
continuing
to
operate
in
the
manner
that
it
always
has
been
operated
and
we're
going
to
keep
going
forward.
So,
as
I
said,
there
is
no
there's
no
monetary
transaction,
as
I
stated
in
in
the
application.
This
is
in
the
nature
of
a
bequest.

Now

located
at
15
to

has
petitioned
to
change
the
manager
of

licensed
business
from
p
declan
mahegan
to
nick
byer.
Lastly,
has
petitioned
for
a
change
of
ownership.
Interest
attorney,
dennis
quilty
attorney
quilty.
Q
Yes,
good
morning
screen
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I
am
here
to
explain
the
ownership
change
and
to
present
mr
buyer
who's.
The
proposed
manager
of
record
would
be
helpful
for
me
to
go
through
kind
of
an
outline
of
what
the
change
is.
Yes,
please,
okay,
thank
you.
So
the
house
of
blues
the
original
atlanta
boston,
restaurant
llc,
has
held
this
license
since
the
inception
of
the
house
of
blues
at
this
location.
Q
The
new
ownership
breakdown,
is
that
the
licensee
entity
remains
the
same,
and
the
new
ownership
group
is
fenway
music
company
llc,
which
is
made
up
of
two
basic
groups.
If
you
go
on
one
side,
it's
the
live
nation
entities,
which
is
a
67
percent
holder
of
interest
and
on
the
other
side,
new
england
sports
enterprises,
which
is
a
33
member
of
fenway
music.
So
many
of
the
same
operational
rather
all
of
the
operational
people
are
in
place.
Many
of
the
same
ownership.
Q
People
are
involved,
it's
just
in
a
different
structure
and
no
other
changes
are
requested
at
this
time:
no
operational
changes,
hours,
capacity,
etc,
etc.
So
and
then
we
have
mr
buyer
here
today,
who
is
a
us
citizen
and
a
mass
resident
and
is
familiar
with
the
rules
and
regs
of
the
board,
and
he
is
present,
I
believe,
in
various
areas.
Q
D
B
S
F
Yes,
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
molly
griffin
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services-
I
got
noticed
this
morning.
The
fenway
civic
association
has
requested
to
meet
with
the
applicant
regarding
the
transition
to
live
nation
and
the
percentage
rise
of
ownership.
So
we'd
request
a
hold
the
vote
until
the
applicant
meets
with
the
pacific
association.
Thank
you.
Q
A
R
Good
morning,
madam
chair
commissioners,
andrew
upton,
from
upton
canal
and
devlin
for
the
applicant,
this
is
the
pico
restaurant
in
the
south
end
long-standing
and
popular
licensee.
This
is
just
a
matter
of
corporate
housekeeping
of
the
13
investors.
One
has
passed
away
and
the
wife
is
taking
the
shares
in
another
couple.
The
wife
is
set
is
selling
the
shares
to
the
husband.
These
are
relatively
de
minimis
ownership
changes
and
there
are
no
changes
in
any
aspect
of
the
management
or
the
operation
of
the
licensee
and
the
licensed
premise.
N
A
Great
hearing
on
the

we'll
take
this
under
advisement.

of
the
proposed

and
is
also
the
proposed
manager
of
record,
can
give
a
little
background
on
the
concept
in
in
the
in
the
site.
The
site
is.
The
proposal
here
is
to
open
a
new
indoor
pickle
ball
in
sports
venue
with
accompanying
food
and
drink.
V
This
is
vacant:
commercial,
formerly
commercial,
industrial
space
at
64,
c
street
aka
10
to
50
old
colony
avenue.
This
is
in
the
andrews
square,
neighborhood
of
south
boston.
It's
a
single
story,
formerly
industrial
building.
It's
it's!
The
coal
hersey
building
with
the
big
letters
on
the
side
of
it.
V
V
They
have
operated
a
similar
concept
with
alcohol
as
a
pop-up
in
assembly
row
in
somerville,
with
great
interest
in
success
that
ran
from
june
28th,
and
it
ended
recently
on
november
7th.
They
had
no
issues
with
that
during
that
run,
and
now
they're
looking
for
a
permanent
home
now
in
south
boston,
they
will
also
have
a
full
menu
as
part
of
the
concept.
They'll
have
a
chef
on
site.
We
did
provide
the
menu
and
and
some
of
these
materials
to
the
board
prior
to
the
hearing.
V
They
will
offer
brunch
appetizers
tacos
flatbreads
other
shareable
options
as
well
to
go
along
with
the
the
the
pickleball
courts
and
the
other
sports
options
as
read
into
the
record
by
attorney
green.
The
proposed
hours
of
operation
are
monday
through
thursday
11
a.m,
to
12
a.m,
friday
and
saturday.
11
a.m
to
2
a.m
and
sundays
11
a.m
to
11
p.m.
V
This
is
a
large
space.
It's
about
2100
square
feet,
but
with
272
seats
as
right
into
the
record,
but
this
includes
these
seats
are
not
all
congregated
in
one
area,
they
are
include
picnic
table
areas,
cabanas
bar
seating,
lounge,
seating
kind
of
scattered
throughout
the
premises
and
around
the
pickleball
courts.
V
Another
issue
I
wanted
to
just
raise
madam
chair
and
was
provided
to
the
board
in
our
materials
was
the
security
plan.
Every
patron
will
be
id'd
at
the
door
and
given
a
bracelet
if
they
are
over
21
in
order
to
control
the
sale
and
service
of
alcohol
to
patrons,
no
individual
will
be
served
if
they
are
not
wearing
the
designated
pkl
bracelet,
which
will
be
rotated
throughout
the
week.
Drinking
will
be
limited
to
the
cabanas
lounges
and
restaurant
bar
areas.
V
V
There's
a
documented
population
growth
in
the
anders
square
neighborhood
that
has
already
moved
in
and
will
be
forthcoming
with
other
developments
in
the
pipeline.
It's
been
identified
as
a
growth
zone,
and
I
also
would
just
state
that,
as
far
as
the
public
need
is
concerned,
we
did
meet
with
the
andrews
square,
civic
association
and
they
voted
to
support
the
proposal
in
the
license
transfer.
V
They
did
submit
to
the
board
a
letter
of
support
for
the
concept,
so
we
would
suggest
that
this
is
also
you
know,
prevalent
and
towards
the
public
need
for
this
type
of
operation,
and
I
know
that's
a
lot
of
information,
but
I
also
just
wanted
to.
I
know
we
have
a
manager
record.
So
brian
is
on.
He
is
a
citizen
of
the
united
states.
He
is
a
resident
of
massachusetts.
V
He
is
over
21
years
of
age.
He
has
experience
in
the
food
and
beverage
industry,
specifically
with
the
pop-up
in
somerville
for
four
plus
months,
where
they
operated
a
similar
concept.
I
mean
he
is
familiar
with
the
rules
for
the
sale
and
service
of
alcohol
in
in
the
state
and
he
will
be
familiar
with
the
rules
for
the
city
of
boston.

Just
a
note
on
the
name,
at
the
time
we
filed,
we
were
discussing
using
the
name
of
grieves
with
the
former
owner,
who
is
ken
casey
of
the
dropkick
murphys.
He
indicated
to
us
that
the
ownership
of
that
name
is
too
complex
and
he
has
too
many
partners
in
the
entity
for
us
to
use
it
and
to
be
transferred.
R
R
R
The
proposed
manager
is
a
us
citizen.
She
is
a
mass
resident.
She
has
a
lot
of
experience
in
the
restaurant
industry
as
a
server
and
a
supervisor
of
servers
for
supervising
the
sale
on
service
of
alcohol.
Her
husband,
who
you
can
see
half
of
his
head,
will
be
the
general
manager.
She
will
be
the
assistant,
general
manager
and
she's
experienced
in
the
industry
and
with
the
rules
and
regulations
we
have
with
us.
Mr
jared
case,
who
is
our
restaurant
consultant?
He
is
a
graduate
of
the
culinary
institute
of
america.
R
You
know
we
believe
the
public
need
is
already
established,
because
this
has
been
a
basically
a
bar
restaurant
forever
at
this
location.
You
know
we
really
want
to
change
it.
To
a
restaurant
and
bar
we've
got
a
a
good
team.
We've
got
experienced,
chefs
we've
got
well-capitalized
investors
and
we
had
a
successful
meeting
with
the
neighborhood
association
of
the
back
bay
who
have
voted
to
not
oppose
so
with
those
details.
I
just
want
to
turn
it
over
to
jared
for
one
minute
and
we're
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
J
Good
morning,
madam
commissioner,
members
of
the
board,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
become
part
of
the
the
wonderful
community
of
boston.
I
have
over
26
years
of
experience,
and
I
believe
that
the
team
there
is
going
to
provide
a
very
healthy
family,
friendly
environment
and
to
complement
andrew's
words.
That's
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
bring
away
the
concept
that
this
is
a
college
bar
and
create
a
restaurant,
that's
farm
to
table
from
scratch
locally
sourced
and
a
healthy
part
of
the
community.

Good
morning
and
chair
members
of
the
board,
molly
griffin
with
the
mayor's
office

services,
supported
this
proposal.
Just
to
echo
attorney
update.
They
met
with
the
neighborhood
association
of
the
back
bay,
I
believe
twice
to
try
to
address
some
concerns
raised
and
that
did
result
in
a
vote
of
non-opposition.
F
A
AG
Yes,
I'm
conor
armstrong
from
439
marvel
street
representing
the
neighborhood
association
back
bay.
The
applicant
met
with
us
and
we
nav
does
not
oppose
replication,
but
we
do
ask
that
if
a
line
forms
which
has
happened
in
previous
restaurants
at
this
location,
that
they
make
sure
it
forms
along
the
building
and
not
fill
up
the
sidewalk.

Now,

applied
for
a
common
victory,
seven-day

while
beverages
licensed
to
be
exercised
on
the
above,
the
restaurant
consists
of
two

that
is

and
a

kitchen
1200
square
feet
separated
by
a

We
are
also
a
from

farm-to-plate
restaurant,
with
an
orientation
to
creating
a
family
environment,
and
so
our
goal
is
community
health.
We
think
that
it's
really
important
just
for
the
livelihood
of
any
neighborhood
that
people
are
able
to
join,
enjoy
a
wine,
a
glass
of
wine
or

me
is
mary

as
well
as
her
sister
nada,
latuf
mary
is
the
co-owner,
along
with
her
sister
of
this
certified
women's
business
enterprise
in
the
lower
end
of
south
boston.
AH
AH
246
west
broadway
is
a
relatively
new
mixed-use
development
that
was
built
and
lulu
green
is
the
anchor
restaurant
tenant
and
they
are
the
second
tenant
in
the
building.
Again,
they
were
licensed
by
this
board
in
2019
for
a
cd
license
to
offer
open
their
cafe
with
the
same
amount
of
seats
on
the
application
now,
which
is
24,
and
they
have
been
operating
with
outdoor
seating
under
the
board's
covet
protocol
to
much
acclaim.
AH
This
section
is,
in
the
lower
end,
st
vincent
section
of
south
boston,
which
has
a
disparity
and
an
imbalance
of
retail
package
store
license
to
new
cafe
beer
and
wine
licenses.
This
board
has
issued
section
15
licenses
for
foodies
and
before
that
down
the
street
for
social
wines,
those
are
retail
packet
store.
They
have
not
issued
any
new
small
scale,
cafe
beer
and
wine
for
sit
down
under
section
12.,
the
only
one
that
the
board
has
is
over
a
mile
away
at
espo,
broadway
and
l
street.
AH
The
lower
end
in
the
same
vincent's
area
needs
this
type
of
stability
for
sit-down
restaurants.
Now
the
concept
is
completely
distinct
as
well.
It
is
the
only
plant-based
100
vegan
sit-down
full-scale
restaurant
in
south
in
all
of
south
boston,
and
perhaps
there
are
only
a
few
in
the
city
as
well.
This
is
a
this
is
a
health-based
but
really
attractive.
AH
Tasteful
kind
of
experience
to
bring
people
in
who
are
interested
in
living
a
more
healthy
lifestyle,
but
also
having
really
well
curated
foods
and
you'll
see
that
in
the
in
the
reviews
that
are
submitted,
it's
there's
a
lot
of
takeout
for
for
plant-based
and
vegan.
There's
not
a
lot
of
sit
down,
and
this
is
very
much
about.
Enhancing
that
sit
down.
AH
Full
service
experience,
the
types
of
of
beer
and
wine
that
that
this
would
feature
are
what
we
call
biodynamic
wines,
vegan
wines
that
aren't
processed
with
any
animal
by-product,
as
well
as
gluten-free
craft
beers,
all
local.
We
are
not
proposing
to
change
the
floor
plan,
we're
not
proposing
a
bar.
This
would
merely
allow
mary
and
her
sister
as
a
boston,
certified
women's
business
enterprise
to
continue
to
meet
the
public
need,
and
that
is
so
substantial
for
a
sit
down,
we'll
also
help
them.
Just
you
know,
from
a
specific
level,
expand
their
brunch
offerings.
AH
Folks
that
want
to
come
in,
have
a
healthy
brunch,
but
also
have
you
know
a
mimosa
and
some
organic
orange
juice.
If
you
will
a
final
thing,
I
would
say,
madam
chair,
is
we
had
extensive
outreach
for
the
community
support
from
the
st
vinson
lower
end
neighborhood
association,
which
represents
this
area
support
from
the
elected
officials.
AH
B
AH
B
AI
AI
AH
Yeah
sorry
part
of
this
is
they
have
actually
hiring
a
new
executive
chef
and
part
of
this
is
getting
through
covid
right,
that's
not
uncommon,
based
on
what
we've
been
through,
but
it's
to
expand
this
the
seated
and
full
service
aspect
that
is
starting
to
come
back
now.
Now
that
vaccinations
are
more
prevalent
so.
B
AI
AI
Closer
all
right
so
how's
this
I
I
was
saying
that
we'll
be
expanding
our
menu
with
pizzas,
pastas,
more
shared
plates
and
even
more
shared
plates
for
our
brunch
menu.
So
if
you
take
a
look
at
our
current
brunch
menu,
that's
our
sort
of
busiest
time
now
and
we
have
an
extensive
brunch
menu
already
in
place.
So
we
would
be
expanding
our
dinner
menu
to
kind
of
match
that
in
terms
of
number
of
entrees
versus
appetizers
and
shared
plates.

Sorry,
I'm
a
little
too
eager,
I
guess,
but
I'm
a
south
boston
resident,
I'm
a
mom
and
I'm
also
a
woman
owned
business.
Certified
women's
business
enterprise
in
boston-
and
I
just
wanted
to
weigh
in
and
in
support
and
lulu
green
offers
something
unique,
I
think
in
south
boston,
for
families
and
for
the
parents
that
want
to
come
and
sit
down
the
addition
of
beer
and
wine,
I
think,
will
only
allow
my
friends
and
neighbors
to
enjoy
say
a
mimosa
at
brunch,
but
also
have
this
gluten-free
option.
T
A
A
AJ
Good
morning
my
name
is
laura
brennan
and
I'm
a
south
boston
resident
I
street
and
I
have
no
affiliation
other
than
I'm
a
fervent
customer
of
lulu
greens
and
I
owned
a
restaurant
in
the
south
end
in
the
early
2000s
and
having
been
a
restaurateur,
I
can
attest
to
what
a
great
job
that
they
do,
and
I
know
that
they
will
continue
to
do
a
great
job
and
use
this
liquor
license
to
augment
their
business.
Thank
you.
A
AK
Resident
of
south
boston
and
a
mom
of
of
two
three-year-olds-
and
I
fully
support
this-
I
think
this
is
great-
that
lulu
green
is
in
south
boston
in
our
neighborhood
and
the
ability
to
go
and
have
healthy
food
and
to
also
have
a
beverage.
A
glass
of
wine
is
a
really
great
opportunity
and
kind
of
a
fast
casual
environment.
So
I'm
definitely
in
support
of
this.
A
AC
AC
E
A
AL
I'm
a
long
time
boston.
I
almost
said
member
resident
sorry
and
live
right
up
the
street,
and
I
just
wanted
to
this.
Restaurant
is
very
special.
In
fact,
I
just
got
my
boston
magazine,
which
has
the
top
50
restaurants
of
the
year
and
mary
gets
a
shout
out
on.
It
is
one
to
watch
so
she's
really
doing
great
things,
and
I
just
I'm
here
because
I
I
love
going
there
with
brunch
with
my
friends
and
a
lot
of
people
won't
go.
If
there's
not,
you
know
wine
or
champagne
or
mimosas.
AL
G
So,
as
somebody
else
said,
I
didn't
catch
her
name,
but
I
have
celiac
disease
and
lulu
green
offers
a
lot
of
gluten-free
options
that
I
don't
usually
get
so
allowing
me
to
be
able
to
feel
like
I'm
safe
to
go,
eat
somewhere,
not
have
to
worry
about
getting
sick
while
also
enjoying
a
glass
of
wine
would
be
really
big
and
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
other
people
in
my
position
feel
the
same.
So
I
just
want
to
share
that.
