Brentwood Beer Board Approves Permit for Jonathan's Grill on Creekside Crossing

Brentwood's Beer Board has approved a new on-premises beer permit for Jonathan's Grill, set to open at 107 Creekside Crossing on October 6. The decision came during a meeting on August 25, where all commissioners were present and unanimously supported the motion.

Katie Scully, the director of operations, along with general manager Colton Carver and regional manager Courtney Russell, presented their plans to ensure responsible alcohol service at the new location. They emphasized a rigorous training program for staff, which includes 10 to 15 shifts focused on preventing underage drinking and recognizing signs of intoxication. The restaurant will implement strict policies to limit minors' access to alcohol and ensure that all patrons are carded, regardless of age.

In response to concerns about over-serving, the team outlined their protocol for handling intoxicated guests, which includes offering food, arranging transportation via Uber, or contacting law enforcement if necessary. This approach reflects their commitment to maintaining a safe environment for all customers.

The board's approval marks a significant step for Jonathan's Grill as it prepares to join the Brentwood community, promising a welcoming atmosphere akin to a "Cheers" environment. The new establishment is expected to enhance local dining options and contribute positively to the area.
