SF 1654 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

City of Minneapolis issuance of a food hall license authorization provision

This bill allows the City of Minneapolis to issue a special liquor license for food halls at two specific locations: 501 30th Avenue Southeast and 800 LaSalle Avenue. It authorizes an "anchor tenant" (a single licensed business) to operate a food hall with multiple independent vendors, where the license holder controls common seating areas for public consumption of food from third parties alongside licensed beverages. The license permits service and consumption anywhere within both the licensed establishment and the specified food hall premises. This directly affects food hall operators at these two locations by modifying liquor licensing rules to enable shared consumption spaces under one license.
