A representative from Detox Bar and Grill, Inc. came before the liquor commission Tuesday with a new business plan.

The former nightclub is under new ownership and has applied for a Class E liquor license, which allows restaurants to serve alcohol.

This comes after Detox nightclub, 1000 Lincoln Highway, owned by Ransey Vazquez surrendered its license last year after two code violations occurred over two weeks.

In the proposed business plan, Detox will partner up with Chicago-based Nick’s Pizzeria.

Owner Margaret Powers said in her business plan that “[her] idea is to allow under-21 and over-21 cliental to have a great meal with live entertainment.”

There will also be a bar area exclusively for those 21 and over. To help distinguish underage patrons from overage patrons, Detox Bar and Grill is considering a wristband system.

“There will be custom-ordered wristbands, and we will rotate them from night to night,” said assistant manager Matt Legg.

Commission member Michael Embry expressed his concern with the new business keeping the former name.

“In the community, it looks like a bad name,” Embry said.

Legg understands because they are carrying over the name “Detox,” there will be repercussions.

“I’m well aware we’re going to be under scrutiny for a while,” Legg said.

They decided to keep the name because of the reputation it has with students.

“The previous owner spent a lot of money on advertising, and the buzz is still there,” Legg said. “Keeping the name makes people come in and look at it.”

The plan was not approved by the liquor commission and is tabled until the next meeting.

The business plan for Golden Thai Jasmine Restaurant was heard and approved by the liquor commission and will be sent to Liquor Commissioner Kris Povlsen for approval.
