Alcohol

During Beer/Wine Walk events, the business has the choice to serve beer or wine or both, but not hard alcohol.

The reverse is true for the Cocktail/Alcohol Walks; alcohol, but not beer or wine.

1 ounce pour - no second pours

Continuing the downtown walks is contingent upon our adherence to the City's requirements with 1 ounce pours and abiding by the safe serve guidelines. A participant can become very intoxicated after 20 stops or 20 ounces of alcohol. The DBA, and or the noncompliant business, can be liable for an injury or accident to participants or bystanders during or after a walk if the guidelines are not followed.

Safe Serve Requirements

Each and every person touching and or serving alcohol during DBA sponsored events are required to have their own current Safe Serve card or Bar Card.

The DBA is required to provide a list of participating business that are serving alcohol to the Police Chief, with the list of businesses, the DBA is required to provide a list of individual names from each business that are serving.

The Police Chief is reminding all participating businesses and servers of the 1 oz serving size.
