Caribbean carry-out food will not be on the menu at a new restaurant planned for the former Golden Bull steakhouse in Vineyard Haven, after MVTap owner Anderson Martins streamlined his application to do business at the long-empty Five Corners spot.

“We’ve simplified the plan,” said Geoghan Coogan, attorney for Mr. Martins, at a public hearing before the Tisbury select board Tuesday afternoon.

Mr. Martins earlier this month received a common victualler’s license to operate a shared-kitchen eatery, where Vineyard Caribbean Cuisine would serve take-out breakfast and lunch on one side of the building and MV Tap would provide burgers, small plates and drinks on the other side from late morning to late night.

His application for an all-alcohol license has taken longer, with select board members and chief of police Chris Habekost previously expressing concern about the potential pitfalls of alcohol service on the restaurant patio and the allocation of outdoor seating between the two eateries.

“It [now] is just one clean, simple restaurant and a very simple licensed premises for you to review,” Mr. Coogan said Tuesday.

Chief Habekost told the select board he’d like to see a barrier around the outdoor eating and drinking area that would keep people from carrying alcohol off the premises and also be sturdy enough to prevent a car from crashing onto the patio.

Planning board chair Connie Alexander said her board members would keep Mr. Habekost’s concerns in mind as they consider Mr. Martins’s application for a special permit, which is set for a public hearing April 16.

The select board voted unanimously Tuesday to approve MVTap’s request for permission to apply to the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission for a license to serve alcoholic drinks, including beer, wine and hard liquor.

Assuming the restaurant receives the state commission’s assent, the select board will then vote once more on whether to approve the all-alcohol license for MVTap.

The board also set hours of operation for alcohol service at the restaurant, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Among other select board business Tuesday, Vineyard Haven Library director Amy Ryan reported that the library on Main street is set to close in mid-April for renovation and construction.

In January, Tisbury voters approved $4.8 million for the roughly $9 million library project, which also has funding from earlier town appropriations and private donations.

The construction is estimated to take at least six to 12 months, said Ms. Ryan, who told the Gazette that a more precise timeline is expected soon from the contractor.

The interim library will be at 15 Church street, next to the United Methodist church, she said.
