Council approves downtown restaurant liquor license; Broad Street lounge application dies for lack of motion
Summary
Gadsden City Council adopted a resolution granting a restaurant retail liquor license to Big D Holdings LLC (Big D's Game changer) at 201 S. Third Street. A separate application for a lounge retail liquor license for 514 Broad Street (Tipsy's Bar and Lounge) received no motion and was not adopted.
The Gadsden City Council voted to adopt a resolution approving an alcoholic beverage license for Big D Holdings LLC, doing business as Big D's Game changer, at 201 South Third Street in District 4.
Council members moved and seconded the resolution and the clerk called for a voice vote. The motion carried by voice vote and the chair announced the resolution adopted.
The council then held a public hearing on a separate application for an alcoholic beverage license filed by Inituum Management Consulting LLC, doing business as Tipsy's Bar and Lounge, at 514 Broad Street in District 5. During discussion, council members said the applicant may have vacated the location and that another business was expected to move in; city revenue staff had not received an official withdrawal of the application. The council recorded no motion to adopt the resolution for the Broad Street site; the matter therefore failed for lack of a motion and second.
City staff noted that the Big D's location is the former Gridiron downtown site and that the license reflects a change in ownership and rebranding. No individual vote tallies were announced during the Big D vote; the clerk called for a voice vote and the chair indicated the motion carried.
Council members and staff did not provide further conditions or contingencies for the Big D resolution on the record during the hearing.
