Members of the Tuscaloosa City Council kept quiet after more than a dozen patrons of a beleaguered sports bar on the Strip took time to defend it Tuesday night.

Owners of a restaurant and club on the Tuscaloosa Strip have filed a new civil rights lawsuit against the city, mayor Walt Maddox and the entire seven-member city council.

Attorneys for a Tuscaloosa sports bar voluntarily dropped a lawsuit against the city Monday, but their legal battle is not over and a new suit will be filed soon.
