Attachment B Allow a Taproom and Cocktail Room on the same premise During the 2019 legislative session, legislation was introduced that remove the restriction from a single entity holding both a cocktail room and taproom license from having a cocktail room and taproom in the same location. However, the bill was not passed by the legislature. Roseville’s Bent Brewstillery has indicated that they would like to able to have a cocktail room license that allows for spirits distilled on-site to be sold in their current tap room. Bent Brewstillery will be working with area legislators to have a bill introduced that will allow for a taproom and cocktail room to be issued for the same premise. This legislation could take the form of a bill that would allow for the coexistence of both licenses statewide or special legislation that would allow Bent Brewstillery to hold both licenses on its premises. In the 2019 legislative session, bills were introduced (HF 347/SF 158) that permit a single entity to own a cocktail room and taproom license. The City of Roseville supportsany legislation that removes the restriction contained in Minnesota Statutes 2016, Section 340A.22 (2) that prohibits a single entity from holding both a cocktail room and taproom license and the restriction of having a cocktail room and taproom being collocated in the same premise. This support also includes special legislation that would singly allow Roseville’s Bent Brewstillery to have both a cocktail room and taproom license upon the same premises.
