Manhattan CB3 committee cuts proposed hours for East 4th bar
Irish Northwest LLC won unanimous support for its liquor-license application, but agreed to close two hours earlier on Friday and Saturday.
Two hosts walk through the week’s edition in conversation — irish northwest llc — 205 east, three cherries hospitality llc — 15, and what’s coming next. Generated by Aware, from this week’s verified summaries.
The applicants ruled out backyard use, addressing a concern residents tied to noise and parties under the previous operator.
At 205 East 4th Street, closing time drew scrutiny. Irish Northwest LLC sought a full liquor license for a bar and restaurant with 60 table seats, 12 bar seats and a full kitchen. The applicants initially proposed staying open until 4:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Manhattan CB3’s licensing committee approved the application unanimously, but only after the applicants agreed to earlier hours and operating restrictions.
Nearby residents described noise, crowds and backyard parties under the previous operator, Cabin. One resident said courtyard noise carried into multiple buildings; another objected to 4:00 a.m. hours on a residential block. The applicants said they would not use the backyard and would limit outdoor seating to lawful street dining. They offered security on busy nights and said music would stay at a conversational level.
The approved hours end at midnight Sunday through Wednesday, 1:00 a.m. Thursday and 2:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Manhattan CB3’s licensing committee required licensed security Thursday through Saturday, sound controls to keep music from nearby apartments, and closed doors and windows after 10:00 p.m. when amplified sound plays. The conditions bar DJs, live music, happy hours and unlimited-drink specials, and limit private parties to 20 a year. The applicants must give residents a contact number and work with them and an HVAC company on roof equipment that may cause disturbances.
Three Cherries Hospitality LLC — 15 First Avenue — Full Liquor License (Sale of Assets/Replacement of Existing Licensed Premises)
Manhattan CB3’s licensing committee unanimously supported Three Cherries Hospitality LLC’s application to take over an existing licensed tavern at 15 First Avenue. The location has held a license since approximately 1994. The applicant proposed eight televisions, background music and daily hours until 4:00 a.m.; the approval kept those hours but added operating conditions.
A resident of the neighboring building opposed the application, describing late-night congestion, noise and bass vibrations in apartments. The resident questioned the proposed number of televisions and said the block already had several places open late. The applicant said it would reduce the television count, use security nightly and install sound treatments, including ceiling material and vibration brackets for speakers.
Manhattan CB3’s licensing committee required soundproofing so sound would not be audible in nearby apartments and closed doors and windows after 10:00 p.m. when amplified sound plays, including televised sports. The conditions prohibit DJs, live music, unlimited-drink specials and happy hour after 7:00 p.m. The applicant must manage lines and crowds, post the conditions and provide residents with a contact phone number.
Manhattan CB3 committee backs Georgian restaurant license
Manhattan CB3’s licensing committee unanimously supported Hera NYC Incorporated’s beer, wine and cider application for a Georgian-inspired restaurant at 95 Second Avenue. Approved hours start at 11:00 a.m. daily and end at midnight Sunday through Wednesday or 2:00 a.m. Thursday through Saturday; outdoor dining must end at 10:00 p.m.
The previously licensed space can reopen under a new concept, with set hours for indoor and outdoor service.
Manhattan CB3 committee extends banquet hall hours
Manhattan CB3’s licensing committee unanimously approved Royal Century Banquets’ request to extend second-floor indoor hours at 100 East Broadway to midnight daily. The third-floor outdoor area remains limited to 10:00 p.m., and the applicant said the venue’s wedding and banquet operations would not change.
Events can run later indoors without extending the hours of the hall’s outdoor space.
Manhattan CB3 committee backs Italian cafe takeover
Manhattan CB3’s licensing committee unanimously supported Okino 11 LLC’s takeover of an existing licensed restaurant for an Italian cafe and dinner service. Approved hours begin at 10:00 a.m. daily, with closing at 11:00 p.m. Sunday, midnight Monday through Wednesday and 2:00 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.
The replacement restaurant can serve daytime meals, while its street seating must close at 10:00 p.m.

Manhattan CB3’s licensing committee unanimously supported Foodie Barbecue LLC’s beer, wine and cider application for its Chinese barbecue restaurant at 300 Grand Street. The approved hours are noon to 1:00 a.m. daily, with conditions covering outdoor dining, noise, lines and a resident contact number.
The previously unlicensed location would gain beer, wine and cider service under stated hours and operating conditions.
