Brian Jennings wrote:Does anyone know of any BYOB establishments in KY? I’m considering leasing a space for a restaurant (in a wet county) where alcohol is not allowed to be sold on premises. The lease says nothing about the consumption of alcoholic beverages. This has led me to research the legality of BYOB in KY. At this point I’ve not received a definite indication whether this is possible? Currently there is no specific legislation that covers this topic.

Stacy Roof wrote:Hi Brian,
Robin is right - can't BYO to licensed or unlicensed establishments in Kentucky. Several years ago (2004 I think) a state Senator proposed allowing restaurant patrons to carry in wine. Our members were split on the issue - some vehemently opposed the idea while others shrugged. We didn't take a position because our membership was split and there was no real effort to pass the bill. It's coming back up again, and I was in a meeting as recent as last week about it. The independent restaurateurs in last week's meeting were very opposed to such a bill due to the dollar investment, time and care they put into their wine inventory.
Stay tuned ... and best wishes to you!
