An establishment kept, used, maintained, advertised, or held out to the public as a place where the primary business is the sale and service of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption, subject to regulatory authority of the Village of Germantown and consisting of one or more of the following characteristics: age restrictions or cover charges for admission; listening to music; hours of operation which extend beyond the normal dining times for dinner (after 10:00 p.m.). The serving of already prepared snacks, chips, peanuts, pizzas, and other limited menu "short-order" grill items in a tavern is considered to be accessory or incidental to the principal use of serving and consuming alcoholic beverages. The accessory or incidental sale of such snacks or food items shall not entitle an establishment to be considered a restaurant under the terms of this Code. The term "tavern" shall not be interpreted to include "restaurant".
When an establishment includes characteristics shared by both a restaurant and tavern, the Zoning Administrator may consider one or more of the following characteristics when determining whether an establishment is one or the other: (1) days and hours of operation; (2) amount, relative percentage, and type of floor space, seating, tables, etc. devoted to the sale and service of alcoholic beverages vs. the preparation and service of food or other uses or activities; (3) size and type of kitchen facilities; (4) relative percentage of projected or actual business income (e.g., gross receipts) attributable to the sale of alcoholic beverages vs. food and meals; (5) other business, property, building, employee or patron-specific characteristics not listed herein.
