PROVINCETOWN — The licensing board last week granted annual liquor licenses for two year-round restaurants.
The board voted unanimously to change the seasonal liquor license held by Jimmy’s Hideaway, 179 Commercial St., to an annual license. Co-owner Raife Menold said the restaurant-bar, which opened earlier this year, was originally purchased with an existing seasonal liquor license. However, business has been so good, he said, that Menold and partner Jimmy McNulty have decided to keep the restaurant open all year, except for the month of March.
“Halfway through the summer we were getting such great support from the town that we thought this is the time to do it [change to a year-round business], our first year,” Menold said.
The licensing board also granted an annual liquor license to a new restaurant, Vicio, which is scheduled to open in mid-May on the location of the former Beach Grill, 175 Bradford Street Extension. Victor DePaolo, who is also the developer of the property, which houses seven condominiums as well as the new restaurant building, will manage the new eatery.
DePaolo said Vicio will serve tapas and have seating for 33. The chef will be Michael Fennelly, who has run restaurants in New Orleans and San Francisco and who was named one of the best new chefs in America by Food & Wine magazine in 1993. Fennelly, an artist, also operates a gallery in Provincetown.
“It’s going to be small plates. We’re still pulling the menu together,” DePaolo said.
