The Lucky Monk Seeks Liquor License Amid Plans To Open At Former Emmett's Spot
The South Barrington-based brewpub plans to serve house-brewed beer, wine, cocktails and more both indoors and outoors.
DOWNERS GROVE, IL — The Downers Grove Liquor Commission will review a liquor license application from The Lucky Monk, a brewpub that plans to open in the spot that was once home to Emmett's Ale House, 1461 Butterfield Rd.
The Lucky Monk is seeking a Class R-3/O liquor license, which would permit the sale of liquor, beer and wine at the restaurant and for consumption offsite. The license will also allow The Lucky Monk to serve alcohol outdoors.
According to village documents, The Lucky Monk will be open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
