(A) Sale prohibited. No person, except wholesalers or manufacturers to the extent authorized under state license, shall directly or indirectly deal in, sell or keep for sale any intoxicating liquor or wine without first having received a license to do so as provided in this chapter. Licensees shall be of five kinds: on-sale, off-sale, “club licenses”, Sunday on-sale and on-sale wine.
(B) Time of issue. No more than one new on-sale license shall be issued in any 30-day period. This provision shall not apply to renewals of licenses for existing establishments.
(C) Combined on- and off-sale. On- and off-sale licenses may be issued to the same applicant for use in same building only.
(D) Club licenses. Special club licenses shall be issued only to duly incorporated clubs which have been in existence for 15 years or more or to congressionally charged veterans’ organizations which have been in existence for ten years, and shall permit on-sales of liquor to members and bona fide guests only.
(E) Sunday license.
(1) No person shall sell intoxicating liquor on Sunday, unless they have applied for and received a special license from the City Council authorizing such sale. Such Sunday on-sale license may be issued by the Council to hotels and restaurants holding on-sale licenses from the city. Applications for a Sunday on-sale license shall be made to the Council in the same manner as applications for an on-sale license to sell intoxicating liquor. The license application shall clearly indicate whether the applicant is applying for an on-sale liquor license or for a Sunday on-sale license. A Sunday on-sale license may be suspended or revoked independently of the on-sale license, as provided in § 114.025 of this chapter. No Sunday liquor license shall be valid unless a valid on-sale license is also in effect for the premises.
(2) As a condition to the granting of a Sunday on-sale license to a restaurant, the Council may by resolution restrict the sale and consumption of liquor at any place so licensed to tables where food is served to patrons purchasing and consuming said liquor, and may prohibit or limit the sale or consumption of liquor at a bar, and may prohibit the maintenance of a bar on the premises where liquor is displayed or dispensed. Violation of any such condition shall be grounds for suspension or revocation of the license.
(F) On-sale wine. No person shall sell wine on-sale without an on-sale wine license or on-sale liquor license. Said license shall not be issued, except in accordance with the provisions of M.S. Ch. 340A, as it may be amended from time to time, and shall not be issued to any establishment other than a restaurant.
(G) Licensed area. No license shall be effective beyond the compact and contiguous space named in the license granted.
