Well, that’s interesting. Reading the fine print of the library agreement. The library allows alcohol in its meeting rooms. HOWEVER, and it’s a big however, even if it’s BYOB, it’s only allowed with a state permit. So from my brief research, a $55 “Banquet” license would allow us to either BYOB at the meetings (YES, it would feel gloriously naughty to drink beer in the LIBRARY) or to actually sell beer & wine. I’d be curious if anyone in this group thinks that’d be worth pursuing.
Tell you what… Get your company to sponsor the meetup for $150 and I’ll get the license and bring quality beers for everyone who’s legal.
