§ 4-6. Consumption and display permits.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    [Generally.] A club or business establishment that is not a holder of an on-sale intoxicating liquor license may permit the consumption or display of intoxicating liquors upon such premises if authorized by Minnesota Statutes Section 340A.414 and a consumption and display permit is issued by the commissioner. Consumption and display permits are issued by the commissioner but in order to be valid, they must be approved by the city council. The permit does not authorize a sale of intoxicating liquor.

    (b)

    One-day permit. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 340A.414, subdivision 9, a one-day consumption and display permit may be issued by the city to a nonprofit organization for the consumption and display of intoxicating liquor in conjunction with a social activity in the city sponsored by the organization. The permit is valid only after first being approved by the commissioner. The permit is valid only for the day indicated on the permit. The fee for the permit shall be set forth in the city's fee schedule. The city may not issue more than ten (10) permits in any one year.

    (c)

    Hours of consumption and display. The hours of consumption and display of intoxicating liquor are those specified in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 340A. A holder of a consumption and display permit who wishes to allow the consumption and display of intoxicating liquor between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. must obtain authorization from the commissioner. A person who holds a consumption and display permit and who also holds a license to sell alcoholic beverages at on-sale at the same location is not required to obtain authorization from the commissioner.
