The Metropolitan Council of Nashville has approved a resolution granting an exemption from the minimum distance requirements for obtaining a beer permit for Tantisimo, located at 306 46th Ave North. The Metro Code of Laws prohibits beer permits for establishments within 100 feet of a religious institution, school, park, daycare, or single-family residence, but allows exemptions for restaurants and retail food stores via Council approval. This exemption was granted following a public hearing on March 4, 2025, in response to a request from business owners Ryan Mercurio and Janelle Beasley. The approval enables Tantisimo to legally serve beer under Metro's regulations.
This exemption allows Tantisimo to expand its beverage offerings, supporting business growth while ensuring compliance with Metro regulations. It reflects the Council's willingness to accommodate businesses in mixed-use and commercial districts.
