Arlington Hooters denied liquor license, serves free beer

ARLINGTON -- With no permit to sell beer, a southwest Arlington Hooters restaurant began serving free beer Wednesday.

To kick off its announcement, the business served up green beer in frosty mugs.

Hooters' application to sell beer has been in limbo since October 2001, when company officials disclosed plans to build a restaurant in a shopping center at Little Road and Interstate 20.

Hooters officials said the restaurant will serve the free beer while it appeals a county judges ruling Tuesday that denied the beer application.

Judge Vincent Sprinkle said the license warranted refusal based on the general welfare and morals of the surrounding community and on the public sense of decency.

Hooters, at 5821 W. Interstate 20, must stop selling beer. However, the restaurant can give it away free or allow customers to bring in their own alcohol. The restaurant plans to give the beer away indefinitely, said Scott Wilkinson, company spokesman.

Isn't it such a great thing that the good citizens of Arlington have the good Judge Vincent Sprinkle there to prevent them from having to resist the temptation of looking at the halter-clad short wearing waitresses (some of whom may just be community residents!) who are employed at Hooters!

Wait, they will still be halter clad short wearing waitresses? The rest. has been open for two years already? Other rest. nearby are allowed to sell alcoholic beverages? A court had a year ago overruled a previous denial?

Talk about activist Judges...
