Woody's Tavern in Moab is safe, RobertGehrke writes, but unless the Utah Legislature changes its mindset on regulating liquor in Utah, future licensees will find themselves in a similar predicament.
Unless the Utah Legislature changes its mindset on regulating liquor in Utah, future licensees will find themselves in a similar predicament.
The tavern reopened for business on July 15, but Utah law technically prohibits a licensee from closing for more than 10 days without notifying the Department of Alcohol Beverage Services a week in advance. In emergencies, taverns can notify the agency by phone, but Beck told me she was so focused on fixing the immediate issues at the tavern, she never considered she might be violating the law.
If Woody’s lost its license, it would join the countless local establishments that have disappeared from the burgeoning tourist haven and take a piece of local history with it.On Nov. 22, DABS Executive Director Tiffany Clason sent a letter to the DABS commissioners, notifying commissioners that, “after much deliberation, and in consultation with the governor,” she was dropping the enforcement action against Woody’s.
Hopefully, it is just the beginning and we really are building a new culture in how the agency treats licensees and serves consumers.
