Port City Music receives 11th hour City and State help in liquor licensing
The Port City Music Hall, 504 Congress Street, Portland is OPEN and has BEEN GRANTED A 30-DAY TEMPORARY 21+ LIQUOR LICENSE by the City of Portland.
This will help us greatly as we work through a difficult process with the State licensing board. We will be serving our full menu of wine, liquor and beer as of tonight, Saturday, January 24.
Our temporary license allows us to admit ages 21 and over only. We regret having to rule out the 18-21 audience at this point. We are still working towards having the State issue us a license that will allow us to admit people 18 and older. We will let you know as soon as this issue is resolved.
We deeply appreciate the efforts of the City of Portland in helping us with this issue.
State Senator Justin Alfond (District 8, Portland) has also been key over the past several days in aiding us in this issue. He has also made plans to help us with our state process in the next few weeks.
Please e-mail Senator Alfond a simple thanks, or You Rock or whatever and let him know you (and we) greatly appreciate his efforts in supporting the Portland music community and small business in Maine. These pro-active legislators are exactly who we need at the State House. (If you are 18-21, you are an important voter - he needs to hear from you.)
