If a Wicksburg bar and grill owner wants to operate immediately, he’ll have to do it without a liquor license.

During their Monday meeting, the Houston County Commission denied the request for a lounge retail liquor license by JCBC Good Times, doing business as Horizon Bar and Grill.Commissioner Brandon Shoupe, who represents the Wicksburg community, made the motion to deny the license, saying that he has not received any positive feedback from the community.

The history of violence at Teasers was the source for opposition. A 2012 shooting killed three people, but Kent said he didn’t work for Teasers at the time and was living out of the area when that shooting occurred. “It’s this commission’s duty to do what it feels is in the best interest of the citizens, but the legal process is separate from that,” Culver said.

Plans, Holloway said, are to make Horizon Bar and Grill more of a sports-themed bar with pool tables, basketball hoops, a dance floor, air hockey, a foosball table, and a food menu. Holloway said the dance platforms from Teasers have all been removed.
