The Signal Mountain Town Council did not decide to make changes to its current laws regulating the sale of liquor, and area businesses seem to be on the same page.
Businesses within the town can continue to sell liquor by the drink, as well as poured beer, between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and 11 p.m.
During previous recent meetings, Council members had discussed the possibility of expanding those hours as well as the hours allowed for package beer sales.
There are no businesses that sell packaged liquor in the town of Signal Mountain, and only two sell liquor by the drink: the Signal Mountain Golf and Country Club and one of the newest additions to the community, El Metate Mexican Restaurant.
“We’re going to see the most in liquor sales between 5 and 7 p.m.,” said SMGCC manager Tommy Lee. “It really doesn’t affect us at all because we are not open during those [potentially] extended hours.”
