Urbana City Council takes up Fernie's High Horse liquor license Monday

URBANA - The Urbana City Council is set to take up a resolution Monday that would add one Class A liquor license for Fernie's High Horse LLC, doing business as Fernie's High Horse, at 118 S. Race St., according to the council's Nov. 9 agenda.

Resolution No. 2026-11-062R is listed under the Committee of the Whole report for the 7 p.m. regular meeting at 400 S. Vine St. A memo from the mayor's office in the agenda packet, prepared for the Nov. 2 Committee of the Whole meeting, says a Class A license allows sales of all alcoholic liquor by the drink or in the original package for on-premises consumption only, and it asks the council to approve the license.

If the resolution passes, the deputy local liquor commissioner would issue the license with an expiration date of June 30, 2027, the memo says. The same agenda includes the city's estimated tax levy for fiscal year 2026-27.
