§ 12-4-410 — Sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption prohibited; location, regulation and restrictions on dispensing of liquor; prohibiting certain activities

(a) Except as provided in subsection (e) of this section,
restaurant liquor licensees shall not sell alcoholic or malt
beverages for off-premises consumption from the licensed
building owned or leased by the licensee. Except as provided in
subsections (b) and (e) of this section, alcoholic or malt
beverages shall be served for on-premises consumption only in
dining areas which are adequately staffed and equipped for all
food services offered by the restaurant.
(b) Alcoholic liquor and malt beverages shall be dispensed
and prepared for consumption in the licensed building in areas
approved by the local licensing authority. No consumption of
alcoholic or malt beverages shall be permitted within the
dispensing areas nor shall any person other than employees over
eighteen (18) years of age be permitted to enter the dispensing
areas.
(c) All sales of alcoholic and malt beverages authorized
by a restaurant liquor license shall cease at the time food
sales and services cease or at the hours set pursuant to W.S.
12-5-101 if food sales and services extend beyond those hours.
(d) No restaurant liquor licensee shall promote or operate
the restaurant as a bar and lounge.
(e) A restaurant liquor licensee may permit a patron to
remove one (1) unsealed bottle of wine for off-premises
consumption provided that the patron has purchased a full course
meal and consumed a portion of the bottle of wine with the meal
on the restaurant premises. For purposes of this subsection the
term "full course meal" shall mean a diversified selection of
food which is ordinarily consumed with the use of tableware and
cannot conveniently be consumed while standing or walking. A
partially consumed bottle of wine that is to be removed from the
premises pursuant to this subsection shall be securely sealed by
the licensee or an agent of the licensee and placed in a tamper-
proof transparent bag which shall also be securely sealed prior
to removal from the premises, so that it is visibly apparent
that the resealed bottle of wine has not been tampered with.
The licensee or agent of the licensee shall provide a dated
receipt for the bottle of wine to the patron. Wine which is
resealed in accordance with the provisions of this subsection
shall not be deemed an open container for purposes of W.S.
