Tuscaloosa staff brief council on multiple alcohol permits and special-event plans, including Lloyd Hall sales for Morgan Wallen concert
Summary
City staff presented several alcohol and special-event permit requests — including a temporary retail permit at Lloyd Hall tied to a Morgan Wallen concert — and answered council questions about locations, transportation and a late notarization that led to one request being handled under suspended rules.
City staff on the projects agenda reviewed a string of alcohol and special-event permit requests, telling the council that one applicant, Made in Mexico Tacos and Tequila, has applied for a restaurant retail liquor license for 1825 McFarland Boulevard North, Suite 250.
Staff also described a change-of-ownership filing for SLZ, doing business as Cottondale Tobacco Outlet, for retail beer and retail table wine off-premises at 5628 University Boulevard East and a second listed location at 5630.
A staff presentation said Events at Bryant-Denny Stadium has applied for a special-event retail alcohol permit for activities at Lloyd Hall (503 6th Avenue) on March 17–19 tied to the Morgan Wallen concert; staff said alcohol sales would be set up on the lawn under a tent. Staff also told the council the city will run transportation for the event similar to a game-day schedule, with buses running about two hours before and for about an hour after the concert.
A separate special-event request for DKE Parents Weekend was presented under suspended rules after a notarization was delayed while a staff member recuperated from surgery; staff confirmed the notarization had been completed and the paperwork was in order.
Council members asked clarifying questions about where the new restaurant would be located in the McFarland Boulevard complex and about the nature of the events at Lloyd Hall; those clarifications were addressed by staff during the presentation. No formal votes or approvals on these items were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt; the items were presented as matters scheduled for projects and finance consideration.
