Two Liquor Licenses Go on Chopping Block

Two liquor licenses could be eliminated by the Bristol Town Council at its meeting on Wednesday evening, Dec. 4.

The councilors meet at 7 pm in the Council Chambers in Town Hall at 10 Court St.

The liquor licenses on the chopping block are a B limited license and a B-V license.

The councilors also will vote on separate petitions to expand outside alcoholic beverage service for two restaurants: Roberto’s at 450 Hope St. and Leo’s Ristorante at 365 Hope St. The petitions, if approved, call for public hearings on the requests in January.
