The beer and wine bar (series 7) liquor license is a "quota" license available only through the Arizona Liquor License Lottery or for purchase on the open market. Once issued, this license allows a beer and wine bar retailer to sell and serve beer and wine, primarily by individual portions, to be consumed on the premises and in the original container for consumption on or off the premises.
This retail licensee also has limited off-sale ("to go") privileges. Liquor may be delivered off of the licensed premises in connection with a retail sale. Payment must be made no later than the time of delivery. Off-sale ("To Go") package sales of spirituous liquor can be made on the bar premises as long as the area of off-sale operation does not utilize a separate entrance and exit from the ones provided for the bar. The total of all off-sale liquor sales shall not exceed 30% of on-sale retail liquor sales per license/location. It is the responsibility of the licensee to provide sales receipts upon request. Reference A.R.S.§ 4-206.01(F).
The beer and wine bar (series 7) liquor license may fill and sell "growlers". Reference A.R.S. § 4-244(32).
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: The retailer must complete a state-approved Record of Delivery form for each spirituous liquor retail delivery. Applicants, licensees, and managers must take a Title 4 training course (liquor handling, laws and regulations) prior to approval. A licensee acting as a retail agent, authorized to purchase and accept delivery of spirituous liquor by other licensees, must receive a certificate of registration from the Department. A pregnancy warning sign for pregnant women consuming spirituous liquor must be posted within twenty (20) feet of the cash register or behind the bar. An Employee Log must be kept by the licensee of all persons employed at the premises including each employee's name, date and place of birth, address and responsibilities. Bar, beer and wine bar and restaurant licensees must pay annual surcharges of $100.00.
