Leander City Council cleared the way Oct. 17 for Ryan Sanders Sports Services to provide food and drinks at Crystal Falls Golf Course.

What’s happening?

Larry Werner, golf course general manager, said the restaurant will be “an Irish pub with a Texas flair.”

The pub is expected to begin serving food and drinks at the golf course, which is run by the city, in 60-90 days, pending alcohol permits, he said.

Ryan Sanders Sports Services has wide-ranging experience in the hospitality industry, including working on events with the National Football League, Major League Baseball and Formula 1 racing, Werner said.


The details

According to agenda documents, the food and beverage provider will give 15% of net profits from all food and beverage sales at the property to the city.

Ryan Sanders Sports Services will also pay $75,000 upfront for renovation costs for the restaurant and bar spaces. The initial $75,000 will be deducted from the profit-sharing agreement with the city, which will lead to the city owning the incoming furniture, fixtures and equipment.
