Overview: The Boston Licensing Board recently considered a range of license applications, with the most notable topic being the transfer of a liquor license from the Crystal Restaurant Garage Room to Ken and Co Inc, doing business as Jana Grill and Bar. Attorney Mike Ross represented the applicant, proposing a new Mediterranean concept that would reduce the indoor premise by 65% and remove several existing license conditions. Surin Kiran, the owner and operator of the Janna Grill and Bar in Watertown, is expected to manage the new location. Support for the proposal was expressed by the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services and the Alon Civic Association, with the latter commending the board for its attention to the community’s concerns regarding the location’s history of violations.
