Elm's Cafe and Catering One-Day Liquor Licenses (185 Salisbury Street)

At a glance

Based on auto-generated captions plus the posted agenda; names and details may be misheard.

  • What: three one-day liquor license requests from Elm's Cafe and Catering (doing business as Simply Delicious Catering, 185 Salisbury Street) for catered events in October and November 2026.
  • Where it stands: all three approved by roll call on 2026-10-13 (the two commissioners present voted yes each time).
  • Next: the events themselves; no further licensing action is expected.

The requests

  • Friday, October 16, 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the American Antiquarian Society, 3 Salem Square: about 80 guests, roughly an hour and a half of open bar.
  • Thursday, November 5, 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Notre Dame Academy, 425 Salisbury Street: about 175 guests, from about 5 to 10 p.m. per the applicant.
  • Saturday, November 14, 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. (agenda): a fundraiser for the public library, about 150 guests, about 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. per the applicant. The captions have the applicant naming November 5 for this one, which conflicts with the agenda date.

What the commission asked

  • Staff certification: the applicant said bartenders are TIPS certified (three at the library event).
  • Source of alcohol: all events are supplied by one licensed distributor, which the captions render "Yankee Spirit".
  • No concerns were raised by the commissioners or the public.
