A longtime Aurora restaurant would begin serving liquor if the City Council creates a license for it.
The Aurora City Council will vote Tuesday night on creating a Class B, on-site consumption, liquor license for Blueberry Hill Pancake House, 405 N. Eola Road, in a strip mall at Eola Road and New York Street on the far East Side of the city.
The restaurant has had its Aurora location since 1999, but has never had a liquor license. The restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, but not dinner.
According to the liquor license application, the restaurant would continue to be open only from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., meaning the license would largely serve to be available for champagne brunches and things like that.
The restaurant has seven other locations in Darien, Homer Glen, Homewood, LaGrange, Oak Brook, Oak Lawn and Tinley Park.
The City Council creates the number of liquor licenses in the city in various categories as defined by statute.
The license is actually issued by the mayor, acting as the city’s liquor commissioner.
