SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Patrons of Spudnik on Broughton Street who haven’t turned 21 will continue to be able to eat their baked potatoes in peace late into the evening.

The city is no longer considering a requirement that alcohol-serving restaurants, such as Andrew Wanamaker’s carb-centric eatery, boot underage customers at 10 p.m. when they’re not accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The news was welcomed by Wanamaker, who said the rule would have killed his late night crowds derived from Savannah College of Art and Design students.

“It was ridiculous,” he said.

Message received. On Tuesday, city spokesman Bret Bell said the concerns of business owners such as Wanamaker prompted the city to reconsider the 10 p.m. rule and other proposed changes to Savannah’s alcohol ordinance that were presented for feedback in late August.

Some issues are still being considered, but Bell said the city wanted to keep the public updated by providing the latest plans for the ordinance.

“The process is still going on,” he said. “No changes have been made yet.”

The updated revisions include:

. The removal of a requirement that would have forced anyone under 21 to leave an establishment that serves alcohol at 10 p.m. when they’re not accompanied by a parent or guardian.

. The removal of a requirement that alcohol-serving establishments hire security and purchase an additional license for operations after midnight. Instead, only businesses that have had problems would have to provide such security.

. The allowance of minors into a business that serves complimentary alcohol such as a hair salon that gives free wine to customers.

. The expansion of residency requirement for the managers from within the city to a 50-mile radius around the establishment.

Mike Vaquer also praised the latest plan for the ordinance after he had raised some concerns last year as a lobbyist for the Georgia Restaurant Association.

“We’re encouraged,” Vaquer said. “Stepping back is a step in the right direction.”

City staffers are still considering whether to allow young adults under 21 into live music venues that serve alcohol and the various ways that could be regulated, said Sean Brandon, management services bureau chief.

In addition, no decision has been made on whether to expand the To-Go cup zone for drinking outside alcoholic beverages to Forsyth Park, Brandon said.

“There are some pretty strong personalities on that,” he said.

Brandon said he hopes to have those issues resolved in about two weeks and have a new draft ready to present in a month.
