The Iowa City City Council approved the liquor license for the Summit Restaurant and Bar, 10 S. Clinton St., under a new owner on Tuesday.
The application for a license was filled by Christopher "Topher" Wanek, a business-owner in Des Moines who intends to acquire the business.
Wanek, who knows current owner Mike Porter, said the offer arose when talking with Porter. He said he anticipates revitalizing the venue.
