Council approves BB license for Holy Mackerel (Kingfish) and several event licenses
Summary
The council approved a Class BB liquor license and yearly entertainment license (pending fire/police sign-off) for Holy Mackerel doing business as Kingfish, and approved multiple one‑day event and beverage licenses including a large Blount family day contingent on insurance and public‑safety approvals.
At the public‑hearing portion of the meeting, applicants seeking to operate a raw‑bar bistro in the former ByWater space described menu plans focused on local seafood and an approachable price point.
The applicants (identified in the record as Luke and Britney) said Luke would lead the kitchen with a focus on local fishermen and that Britney would run the beverage program. Councilors closed the public hearing and voted to approve a Class BB liquor license and a yearly entertainment license for Holy Mackerel LLC doing business as Kingfish, contingent on the fire chief and police sign‑offs for the entertainment permit.
Separately, the council approved a one‑day Class F beer/wine license and entertainment permit for Blount Fine Foods’ employee family day (an event estimated at 600–800 attendees) pending police and fire approvals, proof of insurance and TIPS certification for servers. The council discussed parking logistics and advised applicants to coordinate parking plans with the police chief before final sign‑off.
