Pier Restaurant's Rent Could Be Temporarily Reduced

Fairhope, Alabama 

Update: The city council did authorize the reduction. 



 

DURING WATERFRONT PARK RENOVATION

The city council will consider reducing The Blind Tiger restaurant's rent from 3% to 1.5% of their gross receipts due to ongoing construction in the waterfront parking area.

The change would begin retroactively Feb 1 and end July 31. 

Park closures will be necessary for extensive re-construction of the north seawall and while more parking is added near the beach entrance.


Reconstruction area.

New parking.

Off all area waterfront places to dine/hangout. This is the best view and worst menu. Have to fix that or never going to make it.

That seems only fair; in fact, the entire area has been under construction for months so it would be nice to grant the discount through the end of this year. People are far too lazy to walk from nearby parking.

There is plenty of parking. This sounds like a business that is struggling.

The food is ok. The view is great the atmosphere is nice and their staff is super friendly. I really hope they can make it. Even without food it’s a nice place to sit and have a drink with friends

The menu is very limited to someone who doesn’t eat sea food. I could only get a burger and fries. I love the location and our server was fantastic!! I have returned a few times when I’m in the mood for a burger.

Agree the menu is very limited. With that view and a menu like Market By The Bay, they would be my favorite.

Consider making the area between where you walk onto the pier up to the restaurant a non-fishing area. Trying to get to the restaurant and avoiding getting a fish hook in your eye from the fisherman slinging their bait out can be tricky.

So the taxpayer is supposed to underwrite the costs of running a restaurant because people are too lazy to walk? Make that make sense.

Paying rent no taxpayer funds involved. Would you rather have vacant structure? Need to have a stable menu w/ more then a burger cannot survive on cocktails.

"Paying rent no taxpayer funds involved." Semantic nonsense. This is a taxpayer asset. Discounted rent applies pressure upon the budget, which is wholly comprised of taxpayer money--one way or another.
