Restaurants in Naperville will now be able to serve up to 32-ounce pours of beer or cider — with limitations — clearing the way for a forthcoming entertainment complex reliant on the larger serving…
Brixmor Property Group is reconfiguring the northeast corner of Route 59 and Aurora Avenue for Block 59, a dining and entertainment destination that the company describes as a gateway to Naperville. Brixmor pushed for larger alcohol limits in the city with elected officials over concerns that lower caps would drive tenants planning to fill the development away.
The developer sought two changes to standing limits on behalf of tenants: an increase in the maximum serving of wine from six to nine ounces and the allowance of 32-ounce pours of draft beer/cider. Two proposed tenants, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and Yard House, sell the larger servings at their restaurants elsewhere.
“There’s still a little bit to finalize but this was a monumental step in the project at this stage,” Balzer said, noting that Brixmor worked with city staff to find a compromise. Councilman Ian Holzhauer cast the lone no vote against changing the caps. He said he didn’t “see why we need to change the rules for an entire city” because of one request and considered a 32-ounce pour, even with constraints, as too high.
