Wash. Admin. Code § 314-02-038 – Can a spirits, beer, and wine nightclub license exclude persons under 21 years of age from the premises?

A spirits, beer, and wine nightclub licensee may exclude minors from the premises at all times.

(1) To exclude minors from the entire licensed premises at all times, the applicant must:
1. (a) Indicate during the liquor license application process that they do not wish to have minors on the entire premises at all times; or
2. (b) If already licensed as a spirits, beer, and wine nightclub license that allows minors, the licensee may request permission from the board's licensing and regulation division to exclude minors at all times. See WAC 314-02-130 for instructions on requesting this approval.
