The board that oversees alcoholic beverage licenses in Worcester County approved plans for a trio of businesses in Berlin last week.
The Worcester County Board of License Commissioners approved license transfers for two new businesses and granted a beer and wine license to existing shop Jun & Juice.
“The Buzz Meadery is our company and we’d like to sell the mead at our other company Jun & Juice,” owner Megan Hines said.
On April 17, the board approved a Class A beer and wine carryout license for Jun & Juice as well as license transfers for new establishments, Reverie Arbor and Wine Bar and BourAgave Bourbon and Tequila Joint. Reverie, to be located at 7 South Main St., will be operated by Tara Talbot in the former location of Health Freedom.
A bit further north on Main Street, Oaked 110 Owner Heather Welch is partnering with longtime Liquid Assets team member Megan Newberger to open BourAgave in the former location of Boxcar on Main. While the ground floor layout of the facility is expected to be similar to what it was before, they told the BLC they were planning to utilize the second floor as well. They’ll be setting up a small bar, lounge areas and seating at tables on the second floor. The upstairs space will also be used for private parties and special events.
Attorney Joe Moore told the board the restaurant would be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. during the week and from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends, as the facility is expected to serve brunch. While the facility will offer live entertainment, Welch said it would primarily be on the second floor so it wouldn’t disturb dinner service.
“We’re very particular about the noise,” she said. “I don’t want to run out the customers.”
