The Revere Zoning Board of Appeals approved one new license, several license modifications, and a host of license renewals for the coming year at its meeting last Wednesday, December 21, in the City Council Chamber.
The board also approved the past practice of extending New Year’s Eve closings for local establishments until 3 AM for the serving of food only.
Chairman Robert Selevitch and colleagues Daniel Occena and Linda Guinasso made quick work of the many and various matters that came before them.
The first was an application by Phromi, Inc., d/b/a Beachmont Liquors, 669 Winthrop Ave., in which Jacob Gerson, the present manager of the business, was seeking to change the managership from himself to his son, Michael H. Gerson.
Both of the Gersons were on hand for the hearing. After the board members congratulated Michael Gerson, who has worked at the business with his father for many years, they wished him good luck and approved the change.
The second application was from United Auto Center, Inc. d/b/a Yes Auto Sales, 400 Beach Street, Francisco de Sales Barbosa Neto, Manager, for a change of D/B/A to Yes Auto Sales from JR Car Sales.
Mr. Neto presented his application and told the board that the only change to the business will be the change of name. The board approved the application unanimously.
The third matter involved an application by Argueta & Piche Corp., d/b/a Carnaval Latino Restaurant Bar, 7B Everett Street, Julia Duarte-Alarçon, Manager, for a change of DBA to Carnaval Latino Restaurant Bar from Nino’s Restaurant & Bar.
This matter had been continued from the ZBA’s November meeting. Ms. Duarte-Alarcon presented the application and said that everything will remain the same, other than the change of name.
“I’ve eaten at your restaurant and it’s very good food,†said Occena.
The board unanimously approved the change.
The next item on the agenda concerned a request by Revere Restaurant Group, Inc., d/b/a Tio Juan’s Margarita’s Mexican Restaurant, which is located in the Comfort Inn, 85 American Legion Highway, for a change in its entertainment license to add DJ, Karaoke, Vocal/Instrumental Music, Floor Show, and Athletic Events. The current entertainment license permits entertainment in the form only of Cable TV, Radio, and Juke Box.
The asst. general manager presented the application to the board. She clarified for the ZBA that there would be no floor shows and no athletic events.
After some back-and-forth among the board members regarding exactly what was being requested, with some input from Ward 3 City Councilor Cogliandro, who suggested that the the corporate office perhaps had simply checked all of the boxes on the application, board approved the application for a DJ, karaoke, and instrumental/vocalist only.
The board next took up the application of Rincon Limeño Revere, Inc., 260 Broadway, Juan D. Jaramillo, Manager, to amend an entertainment license to add DJ, Karaoke, Instrumental Music. Current entertainment license is for Cable TV, Radio, Amplifiers, and Vocal Music.
This matter was continued from the November meeting.
Mr. Jaramillo presented the application and said that the change to the entertainment license “would be for a guitar player one or two days per week to bring something different to the business,†as well as an occasional DJ.
The commissioners approved the application unanimously.
The commission granted a new common victualler license to Mass Trips, Inc., d/b/a Revere Beach Pizzeria, 180 Shirley Avenue,
Abel Moreno, Manager, with hours of operation from Sunday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–9 p.m., with requested seating for 18.
Mr. Abel Moreno and his son Emiliano presented the application, which had been continued from the November meeting.
They presently own two nearby restaurants, Esquite, 194 Shirley Ave., and another on No. Shore Rd. They said they plan to offer a New York-style slice of pizza, and other food items, that serve as a grab-and-go for commuters at their new business. There will be only a few seats in the new restaurant itself, which is located in the recently-completed building at the corner of No. Shore Rd. and Shirley St.
Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky, who lives nearby, spoke in favor of the application.
“They do a good business and everybody loves their food. This will be good for the neighborhood,†said Novoselsky.
The board approved the application unanimously.
The board renewed the following licenses for 2023.

The board received two communications in the past month. The first was a notification from the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) of the approval of an application for the transfer and pledge of an All Alcohol Package Store license to Pramukh Raj Gas Station, Inc. d/b/a Joe’s Market from Northgate Partners, LLC.
The second was a letter from Revere City Councillor Richard Serino concerning the renewal of the hotel license for Sudguru Hotel, LLC d/b/a Quality Inn.
Selevitch noted that a year ago, the hotel had promised to reopen within a year, but has not done so. The board voted to send a letter to the owner to ask what the plans are for the future of the hotel. The board members denied a renewal of the hotel’s licenses until they hear back from the company.
Selevitch also noted that two businesses, a restaurant and jewelry business, will have their licenses expire as of January 1 because they have not sought to renew their licenses to this point.
