§ 3-30. License classes.  


Latest version.
  • Licenses to be issued by the city to authorize the sale of alcoholic liquors at retail within the city shall be divided into classes as follows:

    (1)

    Class A license. A class A license shall entitle the holder thereof to sell alcoholic liquors at retail to be consumed upon and within the licensed premises only.

    (2)

    Class B license. A class B license shall entitle the holder thereof to sell alcoholic liquors at retail for consumption off the licensed premises only.

    (3)

    Class C license. A class C license shall entitle the holder thereof to sell alcoholic liquors at retail on the licensed premises only, provided that the holder of a class C license shall have in operation, during the entire term of the license at the licensed premises, a full service kitchen as determined by the local liquor control commissioner or a bowling alley which is licensed under the provisions of this Code, and the retail sales of alcoholic liquors shall account for less than 50 percent of all sales made upon the licensed premises. If the local liquor control commissioner determines that a class C license holder does not meet the requirements for holding a class C license, he shall reissue the license as a class A license, unless he finds that the class C license was obtained using intentional misrepresentations regarding the nature of the licensee's business, in which case the license may be revoked.

    (4)

    Class D license. A class D license shall entitle the holder thereof to sell alcoholic liquors at retail on the licensed premises only, provided that a class D license shall be issued only to a club as that term is defined in the Liquor Control Act of 1934 (235 ILCS 5/1-1 et seq.), and shall be subject to the conditions set forth therein regarding club licenses contained in section 1-3.24 of the act (235 ILCS 5/1-3.24).

    (5)

    Temporary license. A temporary license shall entitle the holder thereof to sell all alcoholic liquors at retail for consumption on the premises only for a period not to exceed three days. No temporary license shall be issued to any licensee holding any other class of city liquor license.

    (6)

    Class E license. A class E license shall entitle the holder thereof to permit the consumption of alcoholic liquors provided or brought to the licensed premises by patrons of the license holder, whether or not the patrons are required to pay any cover charge or other consideration of any nature to entitle them to enter to the licensed premises and to consume alcoholic liquors thereon. A class E license shall not entitle the holder thereof to sell alcoholic liquors at retail on the licensed premises.
