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.

The city has one all-alcohol license available for a restaurant or other business in Peabody looking to serve drinks.
City officials are going out of their way to announce the fact that the city has one all-alcohol restaurant license available and it's up for grabs at a fraction of the cost licenses normally trade at. A press release from the Peabody Licensing Board Wednesday morning said the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission (ABCC) has confirmed that the license is now available. And applicants would only need to pay the annual city fee plus application fees -- that all amounts to about $2,500. This particular license was previously marketed by the license holder in the neighborhood of $150,000-$200,000 and comes by way of resolution of a legal challenge to the board's decision in 2010 to finally revoke the unused license. Board members were …

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.
