Council approves restaurant retail liquor license for 823 Tuscaloosa Avenue
Summary
The Gadsden City Council approved a resolution granting Marcia Kendrick a restaurant retail liquor license for 823 Tuscaloosa Ave. during a public hearing; one resident asked clarifying questions about the location.
The Gadsden City Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution approving a restaurant retail liquor license for 823 Tuscaloosa Avenue after a public hearing in which the applicant and a nearby resident spoke.
Marcia Kendrick, the applicant, told the council the business — doing business as 823 Bar and Grill — has been operating as a restaurant and that she planned to pay current taxes and sell food in addition to alcoholic beverages. “We do plan to pay them and get them current and keep them current,” Kendrick said.
A nearby resident, Jennifer Greenwood, asked the applicant to confirm the exact location and whether the building had previously been another restaurant or business. After Kendrick identified the address and said the location had operated as a bar and grill under a previous name, the council opened the matter for a motion. The chair entertained a motion to adopt the resolution; the motion passed by voice vote with council members responding “aye.”
The council record shows the resolution passed after the public hearing; the council did not attach special conditions during Tuesday’s vote. The applicant provided a business address for the licensing record during the hearing.
The license will allow the holder to purchase and sell distilled spirits on the premises as a restaurant retail liquor license; implementation and tax compliance were discussed by the applicant during public comment.
