Irish Social Club Receives Permanent Liquor License - Club Back to 'Normal' Now

After nearly closing for good, the Irish Social Club of Boston rose from the ashes, and is now a successful club with a growing membership hosting regular events.

  The Irish Social Club of Boston now has a permanent liquor license, essentially restoring the club to its legal capabilites as it was before April 2011's abrupt and brief closing of the club. "Wanted to let you know that Mary Maloney and Kathie Sullivan just picked up the permanent liquor license for the Irish Social Club a few minutes ago in Boston City Hall," wrote Mary Mulvey Jacobson, the club's corresponding secretary. "It is a 7-day all alcoholic license with a 1 a.m. closing, all out by 1:30 am. This license, coupled with the recently received entertainment license completes our work on restoring the licenses. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen. The officers and members of the Irish Social Club extend sincere …

Irish Social Club of Boston Liquor License Approved by Boston Licensing Board

The Club now needs to get approval from the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission and then the license will be restored.

  There appears to be one last hurdle for the Irish Social Club of Boston to get back their full all-alcohol license restored after Boston's Licensing Board approved the license on Wednesday. The last hurdle is for the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission to approve the license, which is expected to take anywhere from six to 13 weeks.    The club has been using one night special licenses for all its events after a member mistakenly gave back the extremely valuable all alcohol license for the club. The club was going to close last year, but was saved by the community, and has enjoyed a revitalization as a spot for local events.

Governor OKs Irish Social Club's 7-Day Alcohol License

The Irish Social Club of Boston just needs the Boston Licensing Board to approve the license and then - drinks to celebrate!

  The Irish Social Club of Boston has one last hurdle to once again have a seven-day alcohol license, after Governor's Deval Patrick signed a homerule petition supporting the license on Friday. The Irish Social Club must now receive approval from the Boston Licensing Board. The Club needs to apply for the license, at which time a hearing date will be set. The Club has been operating on single day licenses since the rebirth of the Club last year. A member mistakenly and hastily gave back the Club's alcohol license when it was believed the Club would possibly close.  Officially, Patrick signed into law House Bill 4294 - "An Act relative to a liquor license for the Irish Social Club, Inc, in the City of Boston." The legislation was …
