Impassioned thought on both sides of an issue led to the contentious decision Tuesday to grant an alcohol license to a restaurant located less than two hundred yards from the campus of Georgia Southern University. Council, along with Mayor Joe Brannen, voted during a scheduled meeting at City Hall Tuesday evening to permit an alcohol license for Bunz Restaurant situated at 1830 Chandler Road, not far from the alcohol-free campus of Georgia Southern. As a result of the vote, the restaurant — which is classified as a Sports Restaurant, and will sell alcohol Monday through Saturday — will be the nearest alcohol-distributing establishment to campus anywhere in the city.
