Notwithstanding the provisions of § 35-4-75 , the governing body of the municipality charged with the approval of alcoholic beverage license issuance may, by ordinance, permit the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages on a sidewalk or walkway subject to a public right-of-way abutting a licensed premises. The sidewalk or walkway subject to a public right-of-way shall be immediately adjacent to and abutting the licensed premises. This section does not apply to any federal-aid eligible highway unless approved in accordance with the applicable requirements for the receipt of federal aid.
Nothing in this section prevents the governing body from imposing conditions or restrictions that the governing body considers appropriate.
The sidewalk or walkway subject to a public right-of-way where the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages is permitted does not constitute a public place as defined in § 35-1-5.3 , if the sidewalk or walkway subject to a public right-of-way has been properly authorized for sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages pursuant to this section. The hours of authorized sale and consumption on the sidewalk or walkway subject to a public right-of-way shall be consistent with the hours permitted for the on-sale license.
A violation of any provision of this title by an alcoholic beverage license holder conducting business on a sidewalk or walkway subject to a public right-of-way pursuant to this section constitutes a violation of this title as if the violation had occurred in or on the licensed premises.
