Restaurants and Bars
Alcohol can be sold in restaurants. The age limit is 18, though many nightclubs voluntarily require a minimum age at the door above 18 (usually 20 or 23, occasionally up to 30).
Alcohol can be sold in bars and pubs if they are defined as restaurants, which means they have to offer food on location. Restaurants, bars and pubs need permission from the municipality to sell alcohol. The alcohol must be for immediate consumption, meaning that the staff has to open bottles etc. After 10 PM the kitchen is allowed to close.

Famous quotes containing the words restaurants and/or bars:
“In the United States all business not transacted over the telephone is accomplished in conjunction with alcohol or food, often under conditions of advanced intoxication. This is a fact of the utmost importance for the visitor of limited funds ... for it means that the most expensive restaurants are, with rare exceptions, the worst.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Howling and roaring
Toe’osh scattered white people
out of bars all over Wisconsin.”
—Leslie Marmon Silko (b. 1948)
