Restaurant moving to Dudley Square won't be bringing its liquor license with it

Suya Joint, which had a beer and wine license when it was on Poplar Street in Roslindale, wants to sell that license to a downtown pizza place rather than use it at its new location at 185 Dudley St.

A new law that expanded the number of liquor licenses in Boston with the goal of bringing more restaurants to neighborhoods just like Dudley Square has so far failed to result in any new liquor licenses in Roxbury.

Suya Joint had an older license, which could be re-sold - with the Boston Licensing Board's approval - anywhere in the city.

The board is scheduled to hold a hearing tomorrow morning on a request by Crush Pizza, 107 State St., to buy Suya Joint's beer-and-wine license.

The board's hearing on scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. in its eighth-floor hearing room in City Hall.
