Vietnamese restaurant and Soccer Planet seek Urbana liquor licenses

URBANA - Two Urbana businesses have applied for liquor licenses that would require the city to raise its license caps, according to the agenda packet for Monday's Committee of the Whole meeting.

Eighty Three Vietnamese, 201 N. Broadway Ave., applied for a Class R&T-1 restaurant and tavern license, which allows drinks with meals served on site. Resolution 2026-10-055R would add one license to that class.

Soccer Planet, 2310 Willow Road, applied for a Class INC incubator license. The packet says that class is a temporary license for business ideas that fit no existing category. It lasts up to 180 days, can be renewed once and may not exceed 360 days in total. Resolution 2026-10-056R would add one license to that class.

Urbana code requires a majority of the elected corporate authorities to approve a new license, the resolutions say.
