Liquor law

It is a licensee's responsibility to be in compliance — refer to the State Liquor Regulations for any updates to liquor laws, rules and regulations. Violations or failure to report changes can result in fines, suspension or revocation.

Compliance checks

Compliance checks and inspections are performed by the Colorado Department of Revenue.

Responsible Vendor / TIPS Training

Responsible Vendor / TIPS Training for servers is available via live streaming or classroom (list of trainers). The training is not mandatory, but it is strongly suggested to obtain it to ensure your servers are in compliance and to protect your business against violations.
