(b)The Department of Consumer Protection, subject to such regulations as said department may adopt, may permit more than one consumer service bar in any premises for which a permit has been issued under this part for the retail sale of alcoholic liquor to be consumed on such premises. A consumer service bar is a counter, without seats, at which a patron may purchase alcoholic liquor, but for which the primary function is to facilitate the purchase of food. Alcoholic liquor may be served to a patron across the consumer service bar, but no patron shall sit or consume alcoholic liquor or food at the consumer service bar. Minors may stand at a consumer service bar for the purpose of ordering and receiving food. No premises shall have both a self-pour endorsement and a consumer service bar endorsement.
