Beloit’s local movie theatre will now be able to sell beer at their establishment after the Beloit City Council voted to approve an amendment to a city ordinance at Tuesday night’s meeting.
Council member Kevin Leavy, the lone vote opposed to the amendment, said he wasn’t 100% comfortable with it and it felt like more of a want than a need.
Leavy said he was concerned about having alcohol and beer around kids who might be unattended at the theatre.
Classic Cinema representative Tori Johnson raised some issues with some of the training requirements in the ordinance, noting the 30 day window for employees to be trained sell beer after being hired wasn’t enough time.
The amendment will also require the theatre to utilize distinctive containers in which alcohol beverages are sold.
