Question Re:Salt Lake City
 

Friends of mine will be in Salt Lake City next weeka nd would like to purchase some alcohol on Sunday. Are liquor stores there open on Sundays?
Thanks.

LOL, thanks for the morning chuckle! No, they're not open on Sundays.

Thanks for the quick response.
Soooo...
Next question, is there a place at the Denver airport to buy booze and can we take it on the plane.

;)

Moise,

Somehow I feel you already knew the answer before you asked.

Is there some reason they can't buy their "alcohol" on Saturday, if they are going to be in SLC for the weekend?

If all they want is a beer or glass of wine with dinner in a restaurant, that won't be a problem for most places on a Sunday.

Yes you can bring a couple bottles in your luggage if you want, but a restaurant can't open it for you if it wasn't purchased in UT (meaning no UT liquor taxes have been paid).

I spent one day and one night in Salt Lake City. I had a devilish time even finding a store that sold beer not to say wine or spirits.

GeorgeW,

See link posted above.

Moise, I live in Denver and am through DIA all the time and cannot remember seeing a liquor store in DIA. Not looking for one either but I am sure that I would have noticed one if there. Liquor store licenses in Colorado are highly restricted to single owners so you don't chain operations that you find in other states.

If your friends are really desperate and/or truly bored, they can drive the 150 mile r/t to Evanson just inside the WY border. Plenty of liquor stores there. Fireworks too. Open on Sunday.

Witch hazel works in a pinch.
