Council approves several on- and off-premises alcohol licenses for new and changing businesses
Summary
The council approved ABC applications for Sitar Indian Express, Tony’s Italian Grill and Fastlane Mart (retail beer and retail table wine licenses); police reported no objections for the applicants presented.
The Tuscaloosa City Council approved multiple Alcoholic Beverage Control applications for retail beer and retail table-wine licenses for several businesses during the public hearing portion of the meeting.
Applications approved included ABC application 25-030AB for Indian Palace LLC (doing business as Sitar Indian Express) at 1825 McFarland Boulevard North, Suite 250; ABC application 25-031AB for Tony’s Italian Grill at 6601 Highway 69 South; and retail off-premises approvals for Fastlane Mart Inc. (DBA Fastlane) at 1515 Twelfth Avenue. Police department staff told the council they had no objections to these applications.
Each applicant gave name and address for the record: Raji Singh (Sitar Indian Express) and Tony Verona (Tony’s Italian Grill) spoke to the council; Atam Masher appeared for Fastlane. The council conducted public hearings on each item, heard no speakers for or against, and voted to approve the requested licenses.
Why it matters: the approvals permit those businesses to sell beer and/or table wine on- or off-premises according to the licenses adopted and hours reported to the council. Police reports were filed with the clerk’s office and officers present said they had no objections to the applicants.
Administrative details: the applications included stated hours of operation and the city clerk’s office confirmed required reports were on file. The council’s votes to approve were recorded during the meeting’s public hearing sequence.
