Utah’s liquor board issues three bar licenses, while warning other bars about too many violations

The Durango Bar, at 923 S. State St. in Salt Lake City, received its bar license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services' commission on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2022 — after trying for several months.Three Utah businesses received much-sought-after bar licenses Tuesday — one after months of trying, another at its first appearance before the state’s liquor board.

Commissioner Tara Thue said she was impressed with the Durango, and owner Pablo Hinojosa, for the amount of thought they put into its managers’ handbook, and working with the Suazo Business Center. While Hinojosa has sat through DABS commission meetings since March in hopes of securing The Durango’s license, A.J. and Mina Marzia, owners of The People’s Lounge — at 260 S. Main St., in downtown Salt Lake City — got their application approved on the first try.

, as well as letters of support from the community — something, she said, that usually doesn’t sway her vote. “It’s hard to see a list of violations that is this long,” Tennert said. “When we get to three violations, we’re going to have to look at revoking licenses, because of where we are.”

OFS!

Or they could just make more

Bar licenses are stupid and regulating commercial enterprises via government entities should be illegal. Let stores serve alcohol you psychotic religious control freaks.

The free market, not artificial legislative quotas, should decide how many bars are in business.

I hate this so much. Rules everyone knows are dumb that we enforce as though they're not. Small business shut down and UT revels in having 0 social scene.

'Utah liquor commissioners warn they may have to ration bar licenses.' Let me fix that for you 'Utah liquor commissioners are jumping at the chance to ration bar licenses.'

This is insanity… for Utah State Legislature to constantly avoid fixing this problem is ridiculous
