Peabody City Council approves karaoke entertainment license for Endless Sabaccian Sushi

Peabody City Council has approved a new entertainment license for Endless Sabaccian Sushi LLC, allowing the establishment to host live and non-live entertainment at its location on Newbury Street. The decision, made during the council's regular meeting on February 25, 2025, will enable the restaurant to offer karaoke and broadcast television and radio, enhancing its appeal to patrons.

The council approved the license with specific conditions: non-live entertainment will be permitted from 10 AM to 1 AM daily, while live entertainment will be limited to Thursday through Sunday from 8 PM to 12:30 AM. This adjustment aligns the end time for live entertainment with typical last call practices, which was a point of discussion among council members.

Councilor Gamache, who moved for the approval, emphasized the importance of synchronizing entertainment hours with the overall flow of service, ensuring a smooth experience for both the business and its customers. The motion passed unanimously, reflecting strong support from the council.

In addition to the entertainment license, the finance committee reported on various agenda items, indicating ongoing discussions about fiscal matters affecting the city. The council's proactive approach to supporting local businesses through such licenses demonstrates a commitment to fostering a vibrant community atmosphere.

As Peabody continues to evolve, the approval of this entertainment license marks a significant step in enhancing local nightlife and supporting economic growth in the area. The council's decisions will likely have lasting implications for the community's cultural landscape.
