Council approves a slate of liquor-license applications and special-event permits
Summary
By a 6-0 vote the council approved applications for several liquor licenses and special designated licenses covering new businesses, expansions and Haymarket Farmers Market vendors, and approved specific manager applications and outdoor area additions.
The Lincoln City Council on April 14 approved items 4a through 4j — a group of liquor-license applications, manager applications and special designated licenses for events and outdoor service areas — by a single 6-0 vote after public hearings.
The slate included: - Golf Experience LLC (7125 South 209th Street), class I license and manager application of Scott Holly (items 4a–4b). - Lincoln Petroleum LLC (NP Mark 29, 1448 North 408th Street), class D license and manager application of Anne Gordon (items 4c–4d). - Salt Mine City Brewing Company (801 R Street) — indoor and outdoor area additions (item 4e). - Red Zone Sports Bar and Grill (3111 Northwest 12th Street) — outdoor beer-garden area addition (item 4f). - Fast Taco LLC (Tipsy's Tina's Taco Cantina, 800 Q Street) — special designated license for a Cinco de Mayo outdoor event (item 4g). - Near South Neighborhood Association — special designated license for a Mother—s Day event at 1929 C Street (item 4h). - Sidecar Cider LLC and Kankader Brewing Company LLC — special designated licenses for multiple Haymarket Farmers Market dates (items 4i–4j).
Applicants or their representatives briefly described the proposed operations and timelines during the hearings. The council chair and staff confirmed that earlier-than-event start times listed on some applications (for example, a 5 a.m. start noted for a farmers-market booth) often reflect vendor setup times rather than the hours when alcohol service begins.
Council voted to approve the entire group; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Carlson and carried 6-0.
No written protests or oppositions were recorded in the transcript; most applicants answered brief clarifying questions from the dais, and several thanked city staff for event coordination assistance.
The approvals allow the applicants to proceed with licensing steps, inspections and any outstanding building or fire approvals required before service begins.
