Urbana council to vote Monday on The Cosmo liquor license and Fernie's High Horse outdoor seating license

URBANA - A liquor license for The Cosmo Urbana and an outdoor seating license for Fernie's High Horse are on the Urbana City Council's consent agenda for its 7 p.m. meeting Monday, Oct. 26, at 400 S. Vine St., according to the agenda and packet posted on the city's meetings page.

Both were prepared for the Committee of the Whole's Oct. 19 meeting, the packet memos show, and are now listed for a council vote. Resolution 2026-10-059R would add one Class A license, which allows on-site sales of all alcoholic liquor by the drink or in the original package, for The Cosmo Urbana LLC at 300 S. Broadway Ave., Suite 142. If approved, the license would expire June 30, 2027, a memo from the mayor's office says.

Resolution 2026-10-057R would approve a license agreement letting Fernie's High Horse LLC use 2,026 square feet of public property at 124 S. Race St., next to its building at 118 S. Race St., for movable outdoor furniture and food and drink. The business would pay $1,944.96 a year, and the agreement would run through Oct. 31, 2031. It would still need a sidewalk cafe license and a building permit, the staff memo says.
