The Scaled Reopening...

We’ve learned a lot over the last few weeks as we’ve navigated this global pandemic; like how to ration toilet paper and what not to do on a Zoom call. Another thing we’ve noticed is that even in the midst of a global outbreak, people are still buying their liquor. They’re pouring their favorite cocktails and enjoying social distancing happy hour on their driveways. They’re hosting virtual dinner cocktail parties and finding ways to shotgun a beer through their masks.

Even though Floridians can get their liquor and enjoy it at home, many are missing the community and connection that comes with enjoying it at their favorite neighborhood bar or restaurant. Birthday parties, bachelorette parties and other celebrations that usually take place in night clubs are being postponed, and party-people are ready to get back to what they do best.

Tomorrow, Governor DeSantis will make an announcement about Florida’s next steps towards reopening. Hopefully we will hear more about when restaurants, bars and clubs can open up again, welcome back their patrons, and start rebuilding the economy.

Taco Bell Cantina, an upscale version of the franchise that serves alcohol, has opened its first South Florida location at Fort Lauderdale Beach Place. 
Taco Bell Cantina, an alcohol-fueled spinoff of the fast-food giant, has opened its first South Florida location at Fort Lauderdale Beach Place.
The Tex-Mex chain, which soft-opened to the public on Oct. 21 at 17 S. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., is planning a grand-opening bash from 5 p.m. Nov. 1 until 11 p.m. Nov. 2 with free swag giveaways, live music, and food and drink samples.
An upscale version of the franchise but without a drive-thru, the industrial-chic Taco Bell Cantina is aimed at college kids and the millennial set. Which means customers can now wash down their steak chalupas and Cool Ranch Doritos Locos tacos with draft beer or “Twisted Freezes,” the restaurant’s phrase for frozen cocktails.

The cantina’s design features communal-style seating with bar stools, an open kitchen with wraparound bar, and a custom menu with sharable appetizers. Customers order from the counter or from touchscreen point-of-sale kiosks.
Twisted Freezes ($6) include margaritas, Baja Blast, Cantina Punch, ginger beer and lemonade, and each can be infused with choice of rum, vodka or tequila. Draft beer ($3-$4) includes Red Stripe, Bud Light, Blue Moon and Havana Lager.
The cantina is one of 43 locations across the country the brand began rolling out in 2015. Naturally, anything from the Taco Bell menu can be ordered, but the cantina also includes sharable nacho boxes ($6.99), including Chicken Enchilada Nacho, Steak and Cheddar Nacho and the Fiesta Taco Salad Nacho.
As with other Beach Place restaurants catering to intrepid midnight eaters, the cantina keeps long hours. The restaurant is open 10 a.m.-1 a.m. Monday-Wednesday, 9 a.m.-1 a.m. Thursday, 9 a.m.-2 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday.

Changes made to extended alcohol sales ordinance in Jacksonville Beach

Changes made to extended alcohol sales ordinance in Jacksonville Beach

According to the city, most of the Jacksonville Beach late-night establishments already have the permit, but changes made will impact new businesses or ones that change


*A previous version of this story suggested that all businesses would have to apply for a permit to serve alcohol after midnight. The changes only impact new businesses and business transfers, as most businesses already have the permit.
On Monday, the City of Jacksonville Beach voted in favor of making stricter permit guidelines for those applying for or transferring an 'Extended Hours of Operations Permit."
According to the city, most of the Jacksonville Beach late-night establishments already have the permit, but changes made will impact new businesses or ones that change ownership.
The ordinance comes after the city says there has been "several incidents of disorderly and violent encounters" at establishments which has led to an increased cost of law enforcement.
"In order to protect public health and safety of the residents of the City of Jacksonville Beach, the City finds it is in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare to encourage responsible alcohol beverage establishments..," reads the ordinance.
If new businesses, or those operating under a restaurant license, are interested in 'sale and sell' of alcohol after 12 p.m., they must do so via an Extended Hours of Operations Permit.
New businesses or those that change ownership must apply for the permit, implement a security and emergency action plan, and pay an annual fee to be able to sell alcoholic beverages until 2 a.m.
In addition, the city says the permits are subject to suspension if the following activities are taking place in, or near the establishment.
  • Illegal activities requiring a police presence that occurs on or adjacent to the premises of an alcoholic establishment with emphasis on illegal activities of owner, employees, patrons underage drinking incidents, open containers, disturbances and D.U.I's
  • Failure of any restaurant to maintain special outlines of an SRX such as derive 51% of gross revenue from food, be able to serve 150 people full course meals at any given time and other mandated requirements
  • Complaints verified arising from adverse effects of extended hours such as noise, illegal parking, vandalism, trash, loitering and exterior lighting issues
  • Violation of noise ordinance
Businesses found to be in violation will receive several warnings but will be fined $500 on the third violation. 

They could also have their extended hours permits revoked or suspended.  
The ordinance goes into effect 90 days from the date of adoption, which would be Feb. 2, 2020.
