New High-End Bar ‘Ace & Vine’ Gets Green Light from Township Board
A new bar focused on high-end liquor and an extensive wine collection is one step closer to opening in Frankfort Township after the Board of Trustees voted to recommend a special use permit for its liquor license.
During its May 19 meeting, the board heard a proposal from agent Erin Gallagher on behalf of Ace & Vine V Inc., the tenant planning to operate in a property owned by Noble Ctr Lincoln IL, LLC. Gallagher described the planned establishment as a sophisticated venue that would serve “bar food only.”
“The owners have a successful history of serving high end liquor and an excellent wine collection,” Gallagher told the board, outlining the business’s background and intended atmosphere.
The special use permit is a necessary step for the business to obtain its liquor license for the location, which has a property identification number of 19-09-12-410-034-0000.
Trustee Jessica Kot made a motion to recommend approval with no objections, which was seconded by Trustee Hillary Kurzawa. The measure passed, but not unanimously. Trustee Dave Smith cast the lone “nay” vote against the recommendation. The minutes did not record a reason for his dissent.
With the board’s recommendation, the owners can now proceed with the next steps in the county and state licensing process.
