INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Mount Prospect, Illinois
TO:
MAYOR GERALD L. FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FROM:
VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE:
SEPTEMBER 2, 2004
RETRO BISTRO RESTAURANT, 1746 WEST GOLF ROAD,
CLASS S LIQUOR LICENSE
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
SUBJECT:
On Tuesday, August 31, 2004, the Village Manager met with the prospective purchaser
of Retro Bistro, Ms. Lorraine Barth regarding her request for a transfer of the existing
Class S Liquor License currently in effect at Retro Bistro. The Class S designation
provides for full service liquor both in a restaurant and lounge setting. Purchase of the
business is contingent upon approval of the transfer.
Ms. Barth has worked at Retro Bistro since its opening some 12 years ago in the
capacity of Manager. She is purchasing the business from her father, the current
License holder. Ms. Barth indicates there will be no changes made to the existing
restaurant or menu. Hours of operation will also remain the same. There has never
been a Liquor Code violation recorded for this establishment.
The Village Manager discussed at length with Ms. Barth the Village's particular
sensitivities to the sale of alcohol' to minors and over service to clearly intoxicated
individuals. The Village Manager also indicated that the applicant is responsible for the
actions of all employees and managers. Ms. Barth indicated she had read the Village's
rules and regulations in this regard and understood all of the Village's requirements.
The required application is complete and on file along with the payment of appropriate
fees and other documentation. The applicant's fingerprints and background check are
on file. If the Village Board considers this request favorably, a Motion recognizing a
change in ownership for the existing Class S License would be appropriate.
