Both the Martha's Vineyard Airport Commission and the West Tisbury board of selectmen have approved a beer and wine license for the Plane View Restaurant at the airport, according to a Vineyard Gazette report.
Local officials have cleared the way for Plane View Restaurant to obtain a license to serve beer and wine, according to a report in the Vineyard Gazette. A restaurant worker said Sunday she wasn't sure when the Plane View would begin serving alcohol after having just received state approval. Selectmen unanimously approved the request last week and the Martha's Vineyard Airport Commission has also approved it, the Gazette reports. Plane View is located inside the Martha's Vineyard Airport at 71 Airport Rd: 508-693-1886. It is the airport's only restaurant.
