The Village Board has agreed to let the owner of Top of the Hill Cafe & Bar add a beer garden, a volleyball court and a horseshoe pit, provided he cleans up some adjoining property that he owns.
Tony Torres, owner of the cafe at Illinois Highway 31 and Cary-Algonquin Road, also owns an adjacent lot that contains the remains of a motel that burned down several years ago, said Michael Friesen, assistant to the village administrator.
Torres must now appear before the Algonquin Liquor Commission to seek a separate liquor license for the outdoor area.
A date on that hearing hasn’t been set.
