A significant discussion unfolded during the City of Milwaukee's Licenses Committee meeting on July 22, 2025, as the committee approved a key tavern license application amidst questions about ownership and partnerships.

The spotlight was on Miss Monroe, who testified regarding her sole ownership of a venture, clarifying that she has no partners. Alderman Bauman pressed for details about her contractor, TJ, who is assisting with the build-out of her establishment. Monroe reiterated her position, stating, "I am the only person lying capital," emphasizing her sole ownership and control over the business.

Following this testimony, the committee moved swiftly to approve Monroe's application without objection, wishing her good luck as she embarks on her business journey.

The meeting also addressed the application from Brianna Nicole Redmond, representing Amani Place LLC, for a Class B tavern license that would allow various forms of entertainment, including live music and comedy acts. However, the discussion was briefly paused as the committee awaited the arrival of Alderwoman Moore, who had objections to the application.

In addition to these discussions, the committee approved several other licenses, including those for extended hours at a filling station and a renewal for a liquor license at a local taqueria, showcasing the committee's ongoing efforts to regulate and support local businesses.

The outcomes of these discussions highlight the committee's commitment to facilitating business growth while ensuring compliance with local regulations. As the city continues to navigate the complexities of licensing, the decisions made in this meeting will play a crucial role in shaping Milwaukee's vibrant business landscape.
