I went to a comedy show at the Tacoma comedy club. I had a choice of 2 show times 8:00 or 10:30. The only diffence is the 8:00show was for 18 and older while the 10:30 was for 21 and over. No signs from the liquor board. Can I carry at the 21 and older show or no? Hard alchohol is served at both show times. No difference in shows that I can find other than the age restrictions.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

If it's 21+ because the state liquor control board requires it then you can't take it in at that time. I know at least one bar that is open to all ages until a certain time then becomes 21+ and becomes a no gun zone.
Arent they then required to have the required signage? None there that I saw

Not sure if you meant that you checked during the 21+ times but I'd make sure they don't post signs at only the times that it's 21+.

Hi Nick
Because we have live entertainment Washington State Liquor Patrol board restricts anyone under 21 before at the club after 11pm. It's not really our decision, just a law we have to follow.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks,
Adam

WAC 314-02-025 What are the floor space requirements to obtain and maintain a spirits, beer, and wine restaurant license or a beer and wine restaurant license?
(a) Request board approval to reclassify the dining area to a lounge for the period of time that live entertainment is conducted, thus restricting minors during that time; or
(b) Notify the board's licensing and regulation division in writing at least forty-eight hours in advance that the sale, service, and consumption of liquor will end in the dedicated dining area after 11:00 p.m.
(1) The liquor control board has the responsibility to classify what licensed premises or what portions of the licensed premises are off-limits to minors. (RCW 66.44.310(2).) Minors may not purchase, possess, or consume liquor, and may not enter any areas that are classified as off-limits to minors. (RCW 66.44.290 and 66.44.310.) The purpose of this rule is to clarify the ways in which licensees can prevent minors from consuming alcohol or entering restricted areas.
(2) Dedicated dining areas - If a spirits, beer, and wine restaurant licensee or a beer and wine restaurant licensee that allows minors chooses to have live music, Karaoke, patron dancing, live entertainment, or contests involving physical participation by patrons in the dedicated dining area after 11:00 p.m., the licensee must either:

(a) Request board approval to reclassify the dining area to a lounge for the period of time that live entertainment is conducted, thus restricting minors during that time; or
(b) Notify the board's licensing and regulation division in writing at least forty-eight hours in advance that the sale, service, and consumption of liquor will end in the dedicated dining area after 11:00 p.m.
Request or notifications may cover one event or a series of recurring events over a period of time.
(3) Barriers - Licensees must place barriers around areas that are classified as off-limits to minors and around game rooms.
(a) The barriers must clearly separate restricted areas, and must be at least forty-two inches high.
(b) The barriers must be permanently affixed (folding or retractable doors or other barriers that are permanently affixed are acceptable). A portable or moveable rope and stanchion is not acceptable. Those licensees that have been approved by the board for moveable barriers prior to the effective date of this rule may keep their movable barriers until the licensee requests alterations to the premises or the premises change ownership.
(c) Liquor bars cannot be used as the required barriers (see definition of liquor bar in WAC 314-02-010(10)).
(d) Entrances to restricted areas may not be wider than ten feet. If a licensee has more than one entrance along one wall, the total entrance areas may not exceed ten feet.
(e) "Minor prohibited" signs, as required by WAC 314-11-060(1), must be posted at each entrance to restricted areas.
(b) The barriers must be permanently affixed (folding or retractable doors or other barriers that are permanently affixed are acceptable). A portable or moveable rope and stanchion is not acceptable. Those licensees that have been approved by the board for moveable barriers prior to the effective date of this rule may keep their movable barriers until the licensee requests alterations to the premises or the premises change ownership.
(c) Liquor bars cannot be used as the required barriers (see definition of liquor bar in WAC 314-02-010(10)).
(d) Entrances to restricted areas may not be wider than ten feet. If a licensee has more than one entrance along one wall, the total entrance areas may not exceed ten feet.
(e) "Minor prohibited" signs, as required by WAC 314-11-060(1), must be posted at each entrance to restricted areas.
(4) If the business allows minors, the business's primary entrance must open directly into a dedicated dining area or into a neutral area, such as a lobby or foyer, that leads directly to a dedicated dining area. Minors must be able to access restrooms without passing through a lounge or other age-restricted area.
(5) Floor plans - When applying for a license, the applicant must provide to the board's licensing and regulation division two copies of a detailed drawing of the entire premises. The drawing must:
(a) Be drawn one foot to one-quarter-inch scale;
(b) Have all rooms labeled according to their use; e.g., dining room, lounge, game room, kitchen, etc.; and
(c) Have all barriers labeled in a descriptive way; e.g., "full wall," "half wall," etc.

The word is no. Now that I see this is about the Tacoma Comedy Club and not the Comedy Underground Tacoma I don't know what the result would be for the first. Who knew there was more than one dedicated comedy club in Tacoma?

Personal attacks again noted, point being made purposefully being ignored by you, anecdote by me showing that it is ok.
Yes because I actually OC, everywhere legally allowed. Do you? (rhetorical question we know you don't).
