Florida Frequently Asked Questions

How does an establishment become a stand-alone bar and is there a fee?

To qualify, an establishment with an active alcoholic beverage license permitting consumption on the premises must notify the division of its intent to allow smoking and must continue to meet all requirements of a stand-alone bar. (Please note: merely electing to make the stand-alone bar designation does not establish qualification for the exemption.)  ?This is done by filing Form DBPR ABT-6039 "Notification of Election to Permit Tobacco Smoking in the Licensed Premises" with the Division of Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-1021.
