Fall River Licensing Board Transfers All Alcohol License, Eyes New Portuguese Restaurant
- Meeting Overview:
During the recent Fall River Licensing Board meeting, members approved the transfer of an all-alcohol common victualler’s license to squeegee to Inc. . The board also approved several one-day permits for local churches and schools, along with a name change for a local eatery.
One item at the meeting was the transfer of an all-alcohol license from the soon-to-close O’Gills Restaurant to squeegee to Inc. The attorney representing the buyers explained that the new owners plan to continue serving Portuguese cuisine, utilizing the recipes included in the sale. The new establishment aims to retain the same hours and potentially the same menu, though details remain tentative as the restaurant prepares for an April or May opening. The board noted that O’Gills will remain operational for another week before the transition.
Another decision involved the approval of multiple one-day licenses for religious and educational organizations planning community events. These include Espri Santo Church, which received approval for its annual parish feast, and Holy Name School, which is organizing a winter fundraising event. Both events will serve beer and wine under the granted licenses.
The board also approved a name change for a local business, converting Almax on-the-go to New York Bagel, while maintaining the same operational hours and offerings. Additionally, Christopher’s on South Main Street received a common victualler’s license to operate a new cafeteria-style space in the area.
