Alcohol Service: Permitted Areas: Classroom Services reserves the right to deny requests for alcohol service when there is the possibility of disruption to other building activities. Serving alcoholic beverages requires approval from the University of Washington AND a State of Washington Banquet Permit or Special Occasion License or Caterer's Business License with Liquor Endorsement.
Alcohol Service Request: Alcoholic beverage may be possessed, sold, served and consumed within University facilities only when the appropriate approvals and permits have been obtained. Once the correct approvals and permits have been obtained, all University policies, Washington State laws and Washington State Liquor Control Board regulations must be followed during the event. For more information on obtaining University approval and to complete and online application, please visit: https://depts.washington.edu/sprogram/alcohol-service/. When an event involves the sale of alcohol, proof of appropriate liability insurance coverage with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence will be required before approval for the requested use will be granted. A certificate of liability naming the UW Board of Regents as the certificate holder must be submitted to Classroom Services prior to the event
Posting of Approved Permit: The appropriate, approved permits must be posted in a conspicuous location for the duration of the event. If there is no permit, liquor cannot be served.
Alcohol Service Waste Disposal: Customers are responsible for the disposal of all bottles, containers and excess trash as a result of alcoholic beverage service. Bottles and boxes must be transported off site OR taken to building loading dock bins by the customer/caterer/bartender. A disposal fee will be assessed if waste from alcohol service is left behind. If an event wants to utilize the available waste receptacles, Classroom Services recommends serving alcohol in cans and small boxes.
