The Iowa City City Council approved a new Class C liquor license for the Summit Restaurant and Bar, 10 S. Clinton St.

City officials told The Daily Iowan that the new liquor license would be granted to Andrew White, who is taking over ownership of the Summit.

The change in ownership comes just more than a year after the last switch in owners for the establishment. Former owner Mike Porter sold the Summit to Christopher "Topher" Wanek of Des Moines in May 2011.

Summit employees declined to comment Tuesday evening.
