The Boston Licensing Board next week hears a request from the owner of the Patriot, formerly the Blackthorn Bar, at 471 W. Broadway to sell its liquor license to Dylan Welsh, the owner of Five Horses Tavern in Davis Square and the South End, for a new restaurant at 22 W. Broadway to be called Worden Hall.
Welsh is seeking a 2 a.m. closing time for his restaurant, which would also have a 16-seat patio open until midnight.
The board's hearings begin at 10 a.m. on Wednesday in its eighth-floor hearing room in City Hall.
