SANATOGA PA – The acquisition of a restaurant liquor license for Chummy’s Tavern at Sunnybrook Ballroom, 50 Sunnybrook Road, Pottstown PA, was approved unanimously and with little comment last Thursday (Feb. 17, 2011) by the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Board of Commissioners following a public hearing.
Commissioners agreed to allow Sunnybrook Management Partners Inc., a for-profit company that leases the tavern space from the ballroom’s non-profit owner, Sunnybrook Foundation, to apply for transfer of a restaurant liquor license formerly used at an East Norriton PA location. State law gives the board the right to decided whether the addition of another liquor license in the township is appropriate.
Foundation directors J. Wilmer “Wil” Hallman and Mark Pollock both spoke briefly on behalf of Sunnybrook. Hallman noted that restaurants which previously occupied a portion of the ballroom building operated with a liquor license, but it expired after the ballroom went into receivership.
“This is something we’ve always had,” Hallman said. “Nothing changes on-site because of it.” Chummy’s operates independently. The ballroom already has two other liquor licenses granted by the state; one for special occasions, the other for a performing arts facility. Both, however, restrict the times and conditions under which alcohol can be served.
Commissioners James Kaiser and Bruce Foltz were absent from the meeting, and did not vote.
