Brentwood approves Urban Chestnut pop-up biergarten series in Brentwood Park; 10% of tap proceeds to park fund
Summary
The board approved a July pop-up partnership with Urban Chestnut for weekly Wednesday Family Fun Nights (4–8 p.m.) featuring a mobile biergarten, live music, and a 30-foot inflatable tent. Urban Chestnut will pay the $100 food-truck fee and donate 10% of sales from a special Brentwood tap to the park maintenance fund.
The Brentwood Board of Aldermen unanimously approved a partnership on June 15 to host Urban Chestnut pop-up biergarten events in Brentwood Park every Wednesday in July from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.
City staff described the pop-ups as "Der Biergarten," a mobile biergarten setup with traditional seating, live music, and a 30-foot inflatable spider tent to provide shade and a gathering space. Urban Chestnut told staff it may add activities such as trivia, bingo or additional live music. As part of the arrangement, Urban Chestnut will pay the $100 fee required by the city’s food truck policy and introduce a special Brentwood Park beer draft/tap handle; 10% of proceeds from that tap will go to the Brentwood Park Maintenance and Liquidity Fund.
A motion to approve the Urban Chestnut Pop-Up Events in Brentwood Park — Family Fun Nights Partnership was made by Alderwoman Sunny Sims and seconded by Alderwoman Sharon Harter; the motion passed unanimously. The consent agenda later recorded Special Use Permit applications for Family Nights at Brentwood Park submitted by Urban Chestnut (for July events) and by Slink Drinks (for August 14). The board also approved a slate of annual liquor-license renewals for local businesses.
Why it matters: The partnership creates a recurring summer amenity in a city park and establishes a revenue-sharing mechanism to support park maintenance. Staff will implement permits and fee collection under existing food-truck and licensing rules recorded in the minutes.
