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.
