The Tuscaloosa City Public Safety Committee voted to refer an application from El Agave Tuscaloosa LLC for an on-premises restaurant retail liquor license at 1800 McFarland Boulevard East to the full City Council. Committee members noted the applicant is a new company and that the proposed hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

The Tuscaloosa City Public Safety Committee voted to refer an application for an on-premises restaurant retail liquor license for El Agave Tuscaloosa LLC, doing business as El Agave Mexican Grill and Bar, to the full City Council during its meeting. The restaurant is proposed for 1800 McFarland Boulevard East, Suite 430, in Midtown.

Committee members heard details from a representative for the applicant that the proposed establishment would operate seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The representative described the business as a new restaurant; committee members noted they had no prior experience with the company and the applicant was not present for most of the discussion.

There was no extended debate or public comment recorded on the application. A motion to forward the application to council was made, seconded and approved by the committee. The motion and second were not named in the meeting record and no roll-call vote with individual member names was recorded in the transcript.

The referral sends the application to the next step in the local approval process; final approval of a retail liquor license requires action by the Tuscaloosa City Council. The committee did not record additional conditions or licensing contingencies in the transcript.
