Condorita Type 47 license application appears in California ABC records

Overview

Updated 1 hour ago

A California Alcoholic Beverage Control report now lists Condorita as an applicant for a Type 47 license at 1639 Silver Lake Blvd in Los Angeles. The entry is an application, not an issued license, and the record does not show whether the business is open or when anything was filed.

A Type 47 license allows beer, wine and spirits served with food. The address is part of a mixed-use retail and office property that a property listing describes as anchored by L&E Oyster Bar, with another retail space vacant or to be delivered vacant. The record does not connect Condorita to that vacant space.

Why it matters

The record shows a new applicant for a full liquor license at a Silver Lake address where the listing says retail vacancies are rare.

Scenarios

California ABC issues Condorita's Type 47 license

Possible Resolves by May 4, 2027

Discussed by: California ABC licensing reports

ABC moves the entry from applied-for to an active Type 47 license. That would make Condorita the license holder at 1639 Silver Lake Blvd. The record alone would not show whether the business is open.

Condorita application remains pending past May 2027

Possible Resolves by May 4, 2027

Discussed by: California ABC licensing reports

The application stays in applied-for status through the deadline. ABC records would still show no issued Type 47 license for Condorita at the address.

Condorita withdraws or is denied a Type 47 license

Unlikely Resolves by May 4, 2027

Discussed by: California ABC licensing reports

ABC records show the application withdrawn, denied, or no longer listed for the address. That would end the current record without an issued license.

Historical Context

2 moments from history that rhyme with this story — and how they unfolded.

2012–present

L&E Oyster Bar at 1637-1639 Silver Lake Blvd (since 2012)

A property listing describes L&E Oyster Bar as a restaurant at 1637-1639 Silver Lake Blvd since 2012. The listing says the restaurant holds a Type 47 liquor license.

Then

The restaurant is the anchor tenant in the mixed-use building.

Now

The listing says the other primary retail space is vacant or will be delivered vacant.

Why this matters now

Condorita's application is at the same two-address property, where one tenant already holds the same license type.

March 2025

Silver Lake Collection retail sale (2025)

JLL arranged the $12.4 million sale of the Silver Lake Collection, a 10,876-square-foot retail property at 1601 Griffith Park Blvd and 3701-3713 Sunset Blvd. The property was fully leased to food and beverage tenants including Counter Culture Coffee and El Condor.

Then

The sale showed investor interest in Silver Lake retail and restaurant space.

Now

It did not directly affect 1639 Silver Lake Blvd.

Why this matters now

The Condorita application lands in the same Silver Lake retail corridor, where restaurant space and liquor licenses are part of property value.
