Fall River Government TV Nov 26, 2024 YouTube Report Issue

The Fall River Licensing Board convened on Monday, February 25th, 2024, with Chairman Greg Braca and members Michael Perea and Melanie Cadero. The board approved several one-day liquor permits for the Police Athletic League's boxing events in January 2025, with one member abstaining. A one-time extension of hours until 1:00 AM on Thanksgiving Eve for The Liberal Club was also unanimously approved. Additionally, an entertainment license for Cornerstone Lounge, allowing live and recorded music, was granted unanimously. A significant portion of the meeting involved the unanimous approval of numerous 2025 renewal licenses across Class 1, 2, and 3 auto sales and repair businesses, fortune teller establishments, and lodging houses. Two auto sales renewals, Jaz Auto and Repair and Cavalo's Tire and Auto Center Inc., were approved in a separate vote where Chairman Braca abstained due to a conflict of interest. A new alcohol common victualler license application for Taste of Paradise was withdrawn by the applicant after a site visit by city departments revealed non-compliance issues. The board also held a lengthy discussion with Brian Andre regarding the status of his suspended license for Mickey Doyle's Inc DBA Mickey Doyle Sports Pub. Mr. Andre sought to maintain his license, but the board clarified that a license cannot be held without a physical location and that he had failed to turn in his physical license as previously instructed. Despite Mr. Andre's financial difficulties and claims of unfair treatment, the board informed him that his license would lapse on December 31st, and he would need to reapply for a new license once he secured a location and financial stability, emphasizing that there are other licenses available in the city.
