Body
ISSUE:
Authorize Atkins Park Tavern to operate a beer/wine/specialty one-item cocktail station, beyond the boundaries of the premises covered by the license, at the Star 94 Woofstock event in the downtown area Saturday, September 30, 2017 (11:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.) and Sunday, October 1, 2017 (11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.). Star 94 also requests that Atkins Park Tavern be granted permission to serve, in addition to beer and wine, a spiked lemonade drink that has been popular in other markets associated with the Woofstock festival. The location of the cocktail station is within the food service area for the event/festival, on Village Green Circle, near the intersection of Atlanta Road and Village Green Circle. Village Green Circle will be closed for the duration of the two-day festival (including setup and cleanup - reasonably assumed to include at least two hours prior to even/festival opening on Saturday and at least two hours following event/festival close on Sunday).
BACKGROUND:
Sec. 6-38 allows restaurants in the Smyrna Central Downtown to serve alcoholic beverages by the drink beyond the boundaries of the licensed premises upon approval by the Mayor and council and provides as follows:
"6-38-Delivery by retailer beyond licensed premises
It shall be unlawful for any licensee under this article to make deliveries of any alcoholic beverage by the package beyond the boundaries of the premises covered by the license. Except for restaurants in the Smyrna Central Downtown, it shall be unlawful for any licensee under this article to serve any alcoholic beverages by the drink beyond the boundaries of the premises covered by the license. For restaurants in the Smyrna Central Downtown to serve alcoholic beverages by the drink beyond the boundaries of the premises covered by the license, such service must be first approved by the mayor and city council."
RECOMMENDATION/REQUESTED ACTION:
Staff recommends approval of the placement and operation of a beer trailer/wine/specialty one-item cocktail station by Atkins Park Tavern for the purpose of service during the hours of operation of the event/festival for both days of the even/festival. Staff also recommends that Atkins Park Tavern confirm with the city the set-up and removal date/time of the beer trailer (agreed to be within the set-up and clean-up period of the festival).
