The DABC commission likely will hold a special meeting in June — by which time, thanks to the Legislature, the DABC will become DABS, the Department of Alcohol and Beverage Services — to talk about the “windfall” of bar licenses.
Roha Brewing Project, at 30 E. Kensington Ave. in Salt Lake City, shown here in 2017, was awarded a bar license by the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control's commission on April 26, 2022., the Salt Lake City brewery that he co-owns.
RoHa was the only establishment to receive a bar license Tuesday. Four other establishments that are ready to open were left waiting by the commission, along with 11 more with projected opening dates as late as October of this year. Eccleston also noted that “if you go to downtown Salt Lake City on weekends, you can see that the demand is not being met with supply. The rural areas obviously should be prioritized, but also we have to look at the demand and supply side of the equation, not just the supply side of the equation.”
The applicants had come before the commission on March 24, Jacobsen noted — in an all-day meeting that Thue said lasted nine hours. A state hearing officer recommended dismissing the violation, because the bar had not been properly notified. Assistant Attorney General Jeff Buckner objected to the hearing officer’s recommendation. The board voted unanimously in Buckner’s favor, keeping the violation intact — though commissioners Jacquelyn Orton and Juliette Tennert urged DABC staff to give business more specific information when violations are found.
