Liquor by the drink is a county option: the premises must be in a county that approved it, and in counties that kept the rule at least 30% of gross receipts must come from food or the license is cancelled and the place becomes a Class B club. Apply with the lease (nine months left), the owners’ disclosures, a tax clearance and the food sales form; applicants must be 21 and have lived in Kansas for a year. There is no quota. Beer-only places can take the city’s cereal malt beverage license instead; half the state fee may be paid up front and the rest within a year.
