Local board approves on‑premise alcohol permit for T2 Bruce 2 LLC, dba Mr. Bruce
Summary
A local licensing board approved an on‑premise alcohol permit for T2 Bruce 2 LLC, doing business as Mr. Bruce, after a brief presentation about staff training, ID checks and business hours.
A local licensing board voted to approve an on‑premise alcohol permit for T2 Bruce 2 LLC, doing business as Mr. Bruce.
The board approved the permit after the applicant described staff training, ID‑checking procedures and operating hours. The motion to approve was made and seconded and the board chair announced the permit had passed and could be picked up after 10 a.m. the following day.
The applicant told the board the business provides four days of employee training, beginning with an orientation covering health, safety and sanitation followed by three days split into front‑of‑house and back‑of‑house sessions. “We do 4 days of training, the first day is an orientation for everyone where they go through, health and safety, sanitation training, some other things. Then with the next 3 days, they're broken apart, and do front of house and back of house trainings,” the applicant said.
The applicant said front‑of‑house training includes Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) carding and licensing procedures and that some hires arrive with serving experience while others do not. The applicant also said the venue opened intending to be a tap house but has become “a full scale restaurant,” adding that “a lot more people come for the food than they do for the beer.”
On hours and staffing, the applicant said the business opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and stays open until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The applicant estimated a total staff of about 25 employees and said managers work without a guaranteed day off.
Board members did not request additional conditions on the permit during the recorded discussion. After the vote the chair (recorded as a board member) told the applicant the approved permit could be picked up after 10 a.m. the next day.
The recorded discussion referenced TABC carding procedures and the applicant’s internal carding policy as the mechanisms to check IDs and verify permits; no ordinance numbers, fees or vote tallies were specified in the transcript.
The decision concludes the on‑premise permit application for T2 Bruce 2 LLC; no follow‑up tasks or reporting requirements were recorded in the meeting transcript.
