The city's Licensing Board unanimously agreed to grant a new all-alcohol license to John Mastrangelo to open Kelley Square Pub at 5 Central St. in Peabody.
John Mastrangelo just needs the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission to sign off on his liquor license as well and he'll be in business in short order with his new family-style Peabody pub. Mastrangelo plans to duplicate his successful East Boston establishment, Kelley Square Pub, in downtown Peabody at 5 Central St., which has been vacant for a year-and-a-half since Fire Bull closed its doors. He and attorney Joseph Cattoggio briefed Licensing Board members on the details Monday night before they unanimously agreed to grant the full liquor license. Mastrangelo doesn't anticipate much need for renovations other than new furniture. The restaurant seats about 100 patrons and will be set up with chairs or booths, tables and a bar. …

John Mastrangelo is looking to open a pub at the former Fire Bull Restaurant at the corner of Central and Walnut streets.
Nothing beats a little family competition. John Mastrangelo, who is related to Courthouse Pub owner Steve Mastrangelo, is looking to open up his own establishment in downtown Peabody; in fact, it would be an offshoot of his East Boston eatery Kelley's Square Pub. As for a location, John Mastrangelo is planning to take over the former Fire Bull Restaurant space on Central Street, which has been vacant since owner Gladys Coehlo shut the doors in September 2011. Mastrangelo will appear before the Licensing Board Monday for a new all-alcohol restaurant license at 5 Central St. with a business name as Kelley's Square Pub. "Believe it or not, there's a full liquor license available," said board chairman Minas Dakos, alluding to the scarcity of …

Licensing Board members harshly criticized Frank Martino this summer for profiting from the sale of his liquor license and now seeking another one from the city for package store.
Frank Martino will be back before Peabody liquor authorities tonight to seek a new beer and wine license for his package store on Route 1 South. Martino has sold his full liquor license to Trader Joe's, which will soon be stocking the shelves of its Peabody store with beer, wine and liquor, assuming the Licensing Board sees no reason to not approve the license transfer. While board members have no problem with the Route 114 grocer selling alcohol, they do have a problem with Martino. That's because he obtained a new license from the city last year -- the only remaining all-alcohol package store license the city held -- and then went and sold it for a locally record-setting price, $205,000, to Trader Joe's. Martino will now be back before …

Martino's Liquors is selling its package store license to Trader Joe's while simultaneously seeking just a beer and wine license to replace it.
It’s allowed under state law, but Frank Martino may have an uphill battle in front of him now that he’s selling his liquor license for a tidy profit and hoping to get a beer and wine license from the city to replace it. Martino, who owns Martino’s Liquors & NY Deli on Route 1, has an agreement with Trader Joe’s to sell his full liquor package store license for a local record $205,000. While asking the Peabody Licensing Board to approve that transfer, he’s simultaneously asking for the lesser package store license. Both points have raised some eyebrows on the board. Board member Charles Holden told attorneys John Keilty and Andrew Upton, who were representing Martino and Trader Joe’s Monday night, he questioned whether it was an ethical …

Three Peabody restaurants received suspensions of their alcohol licenses for failing a recent alcohol compliance check and serving beer to minors.
The city's liquor board handed out penalties to three restaurants Monday night that recently failed an alcohol sting by serving beer to minors. Toscana's Ristorante was served with a three-day suspension because of a prior violation two years ago. The board and the restaurant's owner agreed on July 2-4 to observe the penalty. In this case and in the other six violations that occurred during the April 23 compliance check by police officers and underage operatives, one of the operatives entered the restaurant and ordered a beer (usually Bud Lite or Corona) without being asked to show his or her ID. In all seven cases, the restaurants proactively began training or re-training staff on proper protocol for serving alcohol. Most of the owners …

I look forward to a new restaurant in the square, however there is no way to create proper parking at that spot. There is barely enough for the people that work there. People will try to park at dunkin donuts, bill and bobs or the walnut st apartments right behind them all of which might lead them to get towed. It'll have to be really good pizza to get people to walk. more ›
