Bowl and Board space

[starry83.livejournal.com]

I was walking by today and saw a construction permit (or perhaps application for a permit?) for a "lounge" in the window of the former Bowl and Board. Anyone know anything? I love my drinking and my Davis, but I wonder what our carrying capacity for bars is.

I thought getting a new liquor license was virtually impossible. I know its big money to purchase an existing license, but they don't grant many new ones.

At least a year ago the landlords applied for and got some time of permit for the theater space. Perhaps it was just for beer and wine though? Their hope was to make the space more attractive to potential tenants. At the time they'd also been opposed to the idea of any food establishment going into the space/building. I guess times being tough for retail establishments is causing them to rethink that strategy.

The state granted the city of Somerville a bunch of new non-transferable licenses earlier this year. Also, he may have bought someone else's license, but he would still need the city's permission to use it here.

It's the former. He got a new, non-transferable, full liquor license.
