Hudson Room granted permission to serve alcohol on downtown sidewalk for Oct. 30 event
Summary
Shira Buckner, co‑owner of the Hudson Room, asked the board for permission to have alcohol on the sidewalk for a Fools Night event on Oct. 30; the board approved the request over no objection from the chief.
Shira Buckner, who with her husband owns the Hudson Room, asked the Buckner Board of Aldermen for permission to serve alcohol on the downtown sidewalk for a private event scheduled Thursday, Oct. 30 (Fools Night). The mayor and members asked whether special permitting was required; staff confirmed the request could be approved by motion.
The chief of police indicated no concerns, a motion to approve the request was seconded, and the board approved the sidewalk alcohol permission by voice vote.
Why it matters: The permission allows a downtown business to temporarily extend service onto the sidewalk for a community event; it sets event logistics and requires coordination with public safety staff.
Next steps: The Hudson Room will proceed with event planning consistent with the board's permission and any operational guidance from the police chief or city staff.
