Attachment A <br />Roseville 2021 Legislative Priorities <br />Allow a Taproom and Cocktail Room on the same premise <br />Last session, legislation was introduced that remove the restriction from a single entity holding <br />both a cocktail room and taproom license and from having a cocktail room and taproom in the <br />same location. However, the bill was not passed by the Legislature. Roseville’s Bent <br />Brewstillery has indicated that they would like to able to have a cocktail room license allow for <br />spirits that are distilled on-site to be sold at their current tap room. Bent Brewstillery will be <br />working with area legislators to have a bill introduced that will allow for a taproom and cocktail <br />room to be issued for the same premise. This legislation could take the form of a bill that would <br />allow for the coexistence of both licenses statewide or special legislation that would just allow <br />Bent Brewstillery to hold both licenses on its premises. <br />In the 2019-20 Legislative Session, bills were introduced (HF 347/SF 158) that permits a single <br />entity to own a cocktail room and taproom license. The bill did not receive a legislative hearing. <br />The City of Roseville supports legislation that removes the restriction contained in Minnesota <br />Statutes 2016, Section 340A.22 (2) that a single entity from holding both a cocktail room and <br />taproom license and the restriction from having a cocktail room and taproom being collocated <br />in the same premise. This support also includes special legislation that would singly allow <br />Roseville’s Bent Brewstillery to have both a cocktail room and taproom license upon the same <br />premises. <br /> <br /> February 8, 2021 Draft <br /> <br /> <br />
