Late night permit approved by Liquor Commission
The Naperville Liquor Commission unanimously approved a request from Five Iron Golf to increase the cap on downtown Naperville’s late-night permits by one at its meeting Thursday, moving the business a step forward in opening its new location.
At the Naperville venue, Five Iron Golf plans to be open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday, 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturday, and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sunday.
A late-night permit is required downtown for the venue to continue selling alcohol after 11 p.m. The previous limit on late-night permits in downtown Naperville was 22, available to Class B license holders, with all accounted for ahead of Thursday’s vote.
