Summary

Staff presented liquor and short special‑event permit applications: Sephora Tacos seeks a restaurant retail liquor license at 1759 Skyland Boulevard East (occupancy 150); Theatre Tuscaloosa applied for special‑event alcohol for 'Peter and the Starcatcher' at Shelton State; West Alabama AIDS Outreach applied for a one‑day permit with alcohol at a pickleball kickoff event.

Mary Beth told the Tuscaloosa City Council pre‑council meeting that several liquor and short special‑event permit applications are on the council packet for review.

Sephora Tacos, listed at 1759 Skyland Boulevard East, applied for a restaurant retail liquor license after a change of ownership; Mary Beth said the venue’s occupancy is capped at 150. She noted the application had been discussed in Public Safety recently.

Theatre Tuscaloosa (doing business as a production of Peter and the Starcatcher) applied for a special‑event retail alcohol permit for performances at the Bean Brown Theatre at Shelton State Community College, scheduled April 15–18 at 7:30 p.m. and April 19 at 2:00 p.m.

West Alabama AIDS Outreach, operating an event called the Five Horizons Open at the Bowers Pickleball Courts, applied for a short special‑event retail permit. Mary Beth said the Friday evening kickoff (5:00–8:00 p.m.) would include food, drinks and alcohol service intended as part of outreach and education; the planned Saturday tournament day would not include alcohol service.

Mary Beth also noted that one seven‑day special‑event license application from Lady Premium Food Service Limited Partnership had been withdrawn because the applicant wanted to change the proposed location and would return to the council at a later date. The transcript records staff presentation of the permits and basic operating details but does not show a final council decision on the applications in the pre‑council session.
