Voters at the next Aquinnah town meeting would decide on beer and wine licenses for two Up-Island eateries, if governor Deval Patrick signs a bill enacted in the statehouse last week allowing selectmen to license restaurants to pour beer and wine by the drink.

Last week the House and Senate enacted a town home rule petition that would allow licenses for establishments that seat at least 15 people. Both the Aquinnah Restaurant and the Outermost Inn meet that criterion. If the town ballot vote approves licensing, Aquinnah’s 100-year dry run would end.

Twelve of the state’s 351 cities and towns are dry. Four of those 12 are on the Vineyard. West Tisbury, Chilmark and Tisbury also are dry. Tisbury has a similar licensing proposal moving through the legislature.
