§ 8.20.020.365. Specialty drink license.  


Latest version.
  • A "specialty drink license" permits the sale of a singular variety of an alcoholic specialty drink in open containers for consumption only on the licensed premise of a restaurant or category 2 restaurant unless otherwise permitted in this section. No specialty drink license shall be issued to any location having a drive-thru or walk-up window. For the purpose of this section, a specialty drink is defined as a themed drink representing the culture of the ethnicity of the establishment and must be consistent with the ambiance, decor, and menu offerings of the restaurant. Specialty drinks may only be available for consumption when the kitchen or food preparation area is open and operating, and prepared food is ordered and served to the customer. A specialty drink license may be issued in conjunction with a retail beer, retail wine, or retail beer and wine liquor license. As part of the application process for this license, applicants must be able to identify and describe, in writing, how the drink qualifies for classification as a specialty drink.
