The Peoria Heights space will offer reserved lounge areas on Fridays and Saturdays, along with a bottle service.

The cocktail lounge will be available to the public during much of the week. When the lounge opens, though, he said the cocktail lounge's staff will be dedicated to serving customers' cocktail and drink needs. Seating: Landry said he expects Brienzo's outdoor cocktail lounge to accommodate between 60 to 100 guests. Landry said the space will consist of seating, an outdoor bar area and speakers for music. Landry said the restaurant will “test the waters” to determine if the new hours should be year-round or during the warm months. “I think it’s giving our customers more of a deal honestly … Landry said the idea came to him after spending time in Chicago after college. He said guests can start making reservations for the space on April 1. [A distillery is closing its Peoria location. “We're gonna have some cool aesthetics out there.” So, I'd like to say we're doing a good job," he said.

Healdsburg tentatively OKs allowing cannabis dispensaries within ... (Santa Rosa Press Democrat)

At its regular meeting Monday, the Healdsburg City Council preliminarily approved an end to the city's moratorium on commercial cannabis operations.

The city website’s newly added cannabis page will be updated accordingly, he said. Advocates asked the city also consider establishing a minimum distance between dispensaries to avoid concentration in one area and to allow consumption lounges, where recreational cannabis can be used in a public setting. I think it would be a heavy lift and difficult for our community to accept,” Mitchell said. “So I think we should start with our dispensaries.” The Council said details on housing and distances would be considered during the application process, but allowing for open consumption at lounges would be something to consider in the future. Cannabis growers, a cannabis industry lawyer and others involved in the local industry spoke Monday in support of the city’s move to authorize commercial cannabis.

Arrest made in shooting outside lounge in West Palm Beach (WPEC)

Phone calls from a woman worried about her husband being out too late may have saved his life after he became the victim of a shooting outside a lounge.

Police said it's the same Mercedes from which Palmer retrieved a firearm on March 12 before the shooting at the Empire Lounge. Police said Palmer listed the same address as his home address. Detectives also learned Palmer was the victim of a on Sunday, police said the wife finally got a hold of her husband. Before hanging up the phone, he told her that someone stole his gold chain and that he planned to get it back. According to the arrest report, doctors said he suffered six different bullet wounds to his body, which caused multiple leg and hip bone fractures. The victim falls to the ground and Palmer tries to shoot him again, but the gun jammed. They found he had once been pulled over while driving a black Mercedes by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in 2019 for speeding along Okeechobee Boulevard. Police said Palmer pulled away from the men and opened fire on the victim as he's standing outside his car. Police said the man's wife told investigators that she had been calling him repeatedly during the night because he wasn't home. The shooting victim gets up and tries to get into his car when Palmer fires approximately five more shots at the victim from about three feet away. Others tried to get Palmer to leave.

LUC says 'no' to cannabis lounges (Evanston Now)

Evanston's Land Use Commission voted 8-0 Wednesday night to recommend that the City Council reject a proposed zoning amendment that would permit cannabis ...

But she said that’s not a good argument, when the proposal is so problematic from a health standpoint. Commissioner Kiril Mirintchev said it was “better to stop it at the start” rather than wait for an application for a specific site for a lounge to come before the commission. She said it would be “a slippery slope” to allow cannabis lounges that would likely lead to legalization of tobacco lounges as well.
