St. Charles Considers BYOB Regulations for Restaurants

The city of St. Charles is one step closer to placing more regulations on businesses wishing to offer a “Bring Your Own Beverage” policy for its customers, according to media reports.

The liquor commission recently approved the new regulations. The new code will next be sent to the St. Charles City Council for approval, according to the Chicago Tribune.

If approved, the BYOB policy would require businesses, including the three BYOB businesses currently in St. Charles, to receive a Class F-1 license from the liquor commission, the newspaper reports.

Those approved for a license would need to follow restrictions, which include only allowing one six-pack of beer or 750-milliliter bottle of wine per customer and would require all bottles to be unopened, according to the article.
