Ross Incorporated, operating as Ross Café & Bistro at 2324 Fourth Street in Tuscaloosa, has applied for a restaurant retail liquor license and an increase in occupancy from 68 to 99, city staff told the council.

Staff said the occupancy increase was recommended by the committee and that the application will be presented to the council on Feb. 18 for final action. When a council member asked whether the extra capacity reflected newly added square footage or simply fuller use of existing space, staff replied it was “a slight increase in space.”

The application was described on the agenda with an aerial and zoning map; adjacent businesses were shown, and staff noted the location and the proposed occupancy cap of 99. No formal vote on the liquor license or the occupancy increase was recorded in the open-session transcript from this meeting.

City staff did not present further operational details (hours, ownership entity beyond the DBA, or specific floor plans) during the recorded remarks. Those items and the formal license decision are scheduled for the committee/council process noted on the agenda.
