LDS Church refuses alcohol waiver
The LDS Church is complicating a popular valley restaurant's plans to set up shop in downtown Logan.
The Iron Gate Grill, operating in Providence since 2000, hopes to open a new location at 155 Church St. but the church won't give its consent for the restaurant to serve alcohol.
In Utah, booze-serving bars and restaurants located near churches -- within 600 feet via streets and sidewalks or 200 feet in a straight line -- must receive those churches' blessing to serve alcohol. The prospective Iron Gate Grill location is a little more than 200 feet north of the edge of the LDS Tabernacle grounds in downtown Logan.
