What if my establishment wants to create an outdoor smoking area and also serve alcohol?
According to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission, “any outdoor smoking areas where you want alcohol to be allowed will need to be approved by the Commission and added to your liquor license. You may apply for one of the two types of areas, beer garden or sidewalk cafe . . . .” As mentioned above, establishments may decide to make outdoor areas smoke-free. There are no requirements to provide outdoor areas for smoking.
