I don't think folks are against restaurants that provide something interesting with a diverse offering of food and beverage (alcohol or otherwise). The Beer Works proposal was an addition to 5 existing restaurants with craft beer menus and generic American bar food. I'd liken it to the over population of burrito restaurants a few years ago and fro-yo now. There is nothing wrong with residents requesting diversity in services offered in the area where they live. I am totally for the elimination on the license cap. This will allow more independent restaurants and bars to jump in to the fray and give us great options. It is essential to creating a vibrant and interesting urban environment for visitors and residents. Beer Works wasn't offering anything new, different or interesting and would have only contributed to late night detritus to be discovered by residents walking their dogs the next morning.
