The Dormont Borough Council held a voting session on August 10, 2026, beginning with a public hearing on a restaurant liquor license transfer, followed by committee reports, approvals of ordinances, resolutions, and several action items. All votes were unanimous unless noted.
All right. I'm going to call the order with a public hearing for a intermunicipal liquor license transfer. Is that did I say it correctly? That is correct. Okay, so let me get to our solicitor to give us the background and then run the hearing. Thank you. This hearing, the purpose of this hearing is to um hear from the applicant who's breaking enterprise LLC, which is the Roe House Theater. Um they have applied to transfer a restaurant liquor license into the borough of Dormont from the municipality of Manroomville. Um restaurant liquor licenses are on the quota system, meaning that there can only be one liquor license for 3,000 residents within the borough. Um and as a results thereof, they need to come to council. The applicant needs to come to council first, and council needs to um vote on allowing the license into the borough of Dormond. So I think the council would want to hear first from the applicant, and then next, I think there should be an opportunity for council to be able to question the applicant if there are any questions. I think that there is one person from the public that may want to speak. Um if they want to speak, then they allow that opportunity to speak after the presenter has spoken. So would you like to come? Sorry, do you want to speak? If you could hit the button and then I think say your name and who you're with. Ryan Lassum, M-E-N-D-E-L-S-S-O-H-N. I'm the owner of Breaking Enterprises. And I apologize. I literally thought my lawyer was handling this. So I'm sorry. I was just showing up in the support setting. Okay. Do you want to just give us a short explanation? Sure, yeah. So as said, uh breaking enterprises, the owner of Roadhouse Hollywood. Well, technically we're the operators. Uh so we also are the operator of Lawrence, the Lawrenceville location as well. Uh real estate's own by separate entity, or we have a lease with that entity. Um I'm also the owner of that entity that owns the real estate. Um we do have some partners as well in this. Um, so the goal is to be successful. And one of the key elements to that is um the ability to sell uh beer and wine and liquor um as part of the theater. Our game plan for this would be to have six taps, four for beer, two for cocktails, and the main concession area upstairs with a couple cans of beer offering as well. Um offer cakes, so we're going to have some cans of back alley. And then assuming this goes through, and then um we will have downstairs as well, and that bar will be a full bar. So that's where you get the wine and liquor as well as beer.
