The Metropolitan Council of Nashville and Davidson County approved a resolution to exempt Old Hickory Pizza and Pub, located at 1051 Donelson Avenue, from the minimum distance requirements for obtaining a beer permit. Metropolitan Code Section 7.08.090.E allows for such exemptions for restaurants or retail food stores through a resolution adopted by the Council, provided there are twenty-one affirmative votes after a public hearing. This exemption was requested because the business is situated within 100 feet of a residence, a condition that typically prevents the issuance of a beer permit under Metro Code of Laws Section 7.08.090(A). The Metropolitan Council held a public hearing on June 17, 2025, and subsequently adopted the resolution on the same date, overriding the standard distance restrictions to allow the establishment to obtain its beer permit.
