9.41.300 Subsection 9 also exempts the proprietor and employees of a drinking establishment from the prohibition while engaged in their employment.

So you can open or concealed carry in your own bar.

I myself just found that out a few days ago! Now I can CC my gun while at my other job and not have to worry about avoiding going into the bar area! That will make things way easier.

I'm planning to open a pub when I get home- hopefully opening early next summer.

I plan toreimburse for CPL fees if my employees will get them (and maybe some other criteria like stay with me for 6 months or a year.)

I finally found the answer to this thread. WAC 314-02-025 states:

(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.
