Background:
Shotzee’s Bar and Grill has been operating in Old Town Keller (OTK) since January 2022. Upon the business receiving their Certificate of Occupancy and opening as a restaurant/bar, it came to Staff’s attention that the business operated an indoor entertainment component. Patrons can play pool, darts, attend trivia nights, and listen to live music during their visit to the business. According to Section 8.03 of the Keller Unified Development Code, indoor entertainment is permitted in the OTK Zoning District by SUP only.
On March 11, 2022, Code Enforcement sent the business a courtesy letter notifying the owners that they were operating without the required permit.
To come into compliance, the business submitted their SUP application on June 29, 2022.
Hours of Operation:
Sunday through Thursday: 11 a.m. to 12 a.m.; Friday and Saturday: 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
