North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The new Randhurst location will be
replacing their Buffalo Grove location which will be closing simultaneously with the opening in
Mount Prospect.
Mr. Reschke, also Mount Prospect resident, has extensive knowledge of the food industry and
has been with Outback Steakhouse for over 15 years. The total building square footage is 6,000
square feet with an estimated 57 tables and a seating capacity of 300. The newly constructed
Randhurst Village location will be an entirely new design for the casual dining restaurant,
featuring a new prototype for a year round outdoor dining element. The Outback menu
showcases a variety of steaks, fresh seafood, pasta and infamous "Bloomin' Onion." The
restaurant will be open seven days a week serving lunch and dinner. Grand opening is
scheduled for October 28tH
Discussed at length were the Village's particular sensitivity to the sale of alcohol to minors or
clearly intoxicated persons. Mr. Reschke stated Outback has an in house certified liquor servers
training course and all wait staff will be Basset certified. It was made very clear to all present
that the restaurant managers were responsible for the actions of all restaurant employees with
regard to the service of alcohol. The requirements of the Village's Fight Ordinance were also
discussed
A completed application as well as all other required documentation is on file. If the Village
Board views this application favorably, an Ordinance creating a new Class "F3" License is
recommended for approval.

SUBJECT: BAR 145 MP, LLC D/B/A BAR 145
(FORMER BLUES BAR)
34 S. MAIN STREET
REQUEST FOR A NEW CLASS "173" LIQUOR LICENSE
On Thursday October 8, 2015, Acting Village Manager and Administrative Assistant to the Village
Manager met with owners Deana and Lenny Rago regarding their request for the creation of a new Class
"173" liquor license for the above referenced establishment which was most recently occupied by the
"Blues Bar." The Class "F-3" license provides for the full service of alcohol in a restaurant with lounge.
Founded in 2011, the Ohio based Bar 145 is a gastropub, specializing in burgers, bands, and bourbon
where customers enjoy the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere of a neighborhood bar along with American
grille inspired cuisine. An assortment of bourbons, beers and wines complement the menu. Bar 145 also
offers live entertainment six nights a week ranging from acoustic to full bands.
The Rago's are Mount Prospect residents who always dreamed of owning a restaurant in their hometown
with an entertainment component. Since 2003, the Rago's have owned and operated Panino's Italian
Pizzeria located in Evanston and Chicago and have extensive knowledge in the food industry. Both
restaurants currently have liquor licenses and are in good standing with each municipality.
Ms. Rago will manage the daily operations of the restaurant while her husband will manage the evening
entertainment. Lunch and dinner will be served with hours of operation 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through
Thursday and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday. A late night menu will be offered to customers after
10 p.m. each day.
Discussed with the applicants were the requirements of the Village's Liquor Code including the need to
be mindful of sales to minors as well as obviously intoxicated persons. Also discussed was the need for
new managers to be fingerprinted and all employees involved in the delivery of alcohol to complete a
certified liquor servers training course. The requirements of the Village's Fight Ordinance were also
discussed. The Acting Village Manager also emphasized the need for appropriate controls to be in place
to insure that restaurant employees do not inadvertently violate code requirements.
A completed application along with fees and required documents have been submitted. Both have
submitted to fingerprinting and background checks. If the Village Board views this application favorably,
an Ordinance creating a new class "F-3" license is recommended for approval.
