The city’s newest restaurant is set to open in just a few weeks.

On Monday, the Fultondale City Council approved a business license and a restaurant retail liquor license for On Tap Sports Cafe, which is under construction at 1400 Walker Chapel Road.

Todd Beegle, who will manage the restaurant, said On Tap is scheduled to open in mid-December.

The business will seat at least 99 people, including at a large patio with tables.

Beegle’s father, Craig Beegle, owns the restaurant: The family also owns three other On Tap Sports Cafes.

The Fultondale location is the only one that the owners have built from the ground up. It is being built in the style of an English pub.
