Gadsden council approves restaurant liquor license for Moe’s Original Barbecue downtown

The Gadsden City Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution approving a restaurant retail liquor license for Attaboy LLC, doing business as Moe’s Original Barbecue, at 208 South Second Street in District 4. The council held a public hearing; no members of the public spoke in favor of or opposition to the application and the resolution passed by voice vote.

The license request was presented during the council’s advertised public hearing for alcoholic beverage licenses. A council member clarified the application name differed from the business name but confirmed the request covered the downtown Moe’s Original Barbecue across from City Hall. The council then moved to adopt the resolution and the motion carried.

The action was carried out during the meeting’s regular business session after roll call and invocation. Because the hearing drew no public testimony, council members proceeded directly to a motion and vote. The city clerk recorded the voice vote as in the affirmative and the chair announced the resolution adopted.

The council did not attach conditions in the meeting record and no ordinance, state statute, or regulatory citation was read into the record beyond the resolution language announcing the public hearing and the license type. The council did not schedule further action on this item; the resolution as adopted grants the requested authorization to the applicant.

No additional public-comment materials or objections were filed during the hearing, according to the meeting record. Any administrative or licensing follow-up (for example final paperwork, inspections or licensing fees) was not discussed on the record and is not specified in the meeting minutes.
