E.J. Malloy's Los Altos

E.J. Malloy's applies for transfer of Fish Tale alcohol license

EJ Malloy's has applied for a transfer of the Fish Tale ABC license. The Type 47 Restaurant with a full bar has no restrictions on the alcohol license. The Fish Tale will close July 31, 2014.

Protests of an ABC license transfer can only be made on "moral" grounds of the applicant who applies for the transfer.

The Fish Tale was grandfathered business because it predates the Conditional Use Permit process.  E.J. Malloy's Los Altos may apply for a CUP Exemption if they keep the same "footprint" of the existing restaurant.  Any major changes in the footprint of the  Fish Tale restaurant/bar will trigger the CUP process for E.J. Malloy's Los Altos.

Under a Type 47 License, quarterly gross sales of alcohol may not exceed food sales.

Currently E.J. Malloy's operates two other locations in Long Beach- on Atlantic Ave in Bixby Knolls and on Broadway in Alamitos Heights. Both of those other locations have operating restrictions.  Both locations stay open until midnight with the kitchen closing two hours before ( Alamitos Heights closes at 11 pm on Sundays).

E.J. Malloy owner Brent Brakebill lives in the 3rd District La Marina neighborhood-not in Los Altos as reported in some local press stories.
