The City Council on July 1 voted 8‑0 to approve a resolution allowing Goose's Bar and Grill, 129 North Washington, to add an outdoor patio area to its premises for its Class C liquor license.
Councilman Stubbe moved to approve resolution R250134; Councilman Kluge seconded the motion and the council adopted it on an 8‑0 vote.
Owner John King addressed the council before the vote, describing Goose’s as a bar-and-grill operation that serves a southern-style breakfast seven days a week. “We serve breakfast 7 days a week,” King said, adding the business serves a mix of southern food and dishes inspired by the owner’s service overseas. King told the council the patio expansion will support business growth and community events; he said the restaurant is planning a barbecue competition on July 12 at Warner Park and expects 33 teams to participate.
King also said the business plans to continue building its offerings, including a later rooftop bar on a multi-year roadmap, and that proceeds from morning service will support the barbecue competition.
No opponents spoke on the record. Council members voted in favor and the resolution passed.
