Summary
The document outlines a licensing application for Groveland Tap, located at 1834 St. Clair Ave in St. Paul, seeking to upgrade its existing license to include a full liquor and gambling license. The proposed changes have prompted significant community concern, primarily from local residents who fear the impact on the neighborhood's character, which is predominantly family-oriented. Residents express worries about increased noise, parking issues, and a shift from a restaurant to a bar environment due to extended hours, including a midnight closing time. The City of St. Paul will hold a public hearing on March 5, 2026, to gather testimony from interested parties and ultimately decide whether to approve or deny the license application. Public comments must be submitted by February 28,
