The statutory restriction of one plenary retail consumption license ( the type used in a bar or restaurant ) for every 3,000 people in a municipality has long been a thorn in the side of bars , restaurants and catering venue operators . Our CSG liquor licensing team has been able to work with licensees that already own one liquor license to address this issue . Through a creative approve involving reconfiguring and / or adding on to their current bar or restaurant space and creating contiguous , connected spaces — each containing a different restaurant concept but operated as a single business — we have been successful in maximizing the value of our clients ’ liquor licenses within the framework of liquor licensing laws and regulations .

At the hearing , the court ordered that the guest must immediately vacate his room and awarded the hotel a money judgment for all unpaid daily room charges . The decision is a victory for small business owners against guests who try to take advantage of customer-friendly initiatives enacted during these unprecedented times .
