Council grants local consent for two downtown restaurants’ liquor licenses
Summary
The council granted local consent for a name change for Fat Fish and approved a restaurant liquor license for Smoke and Bones; both actions clear the way for state licensing steps.
The Bountiful City Council granted local consent on July 8 for two changes to downtown restaurant liquor licenses: a local consent for a name/responsible‑party change for Fat Fish 2 and local consent for a restaurant liquor license for Smoke and Bones at 364 South 2nd West.
City staff explained that local consent is required before applicants pursue state liquor licensing. The staff report showed required background checks had been run and no disqualifying issues were found. For Fat Fish, staff described the item as an administrative step tied to a change in the responsible person; the council approved the local consent and authorized the mayor to sign. For Smoke and Bones, staff said the applicant applied for a full restaurant liquor license; the council voted to grant local consent with no recorded objections.
Council votes were by voice (ayes recorded). Successful local consent allows both applicants to proceed to the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for final state approval.
