No more sneaking alcohol into the Sandy Amphitheater as city OKs beer sales at its outdoor concert venue

The Sandy Amphitheater will no allow alcohol sales at select outdoor concerts, a move that city officials say could attract large national acts and keep patrons from “sneaking” liquor into the venue.

On Tuesday, the City Council approved in a 6-1 vote a land-use change that would allow alcohol sales at the park at 1245 E. 9400 South, where the amphitheater, senior citizen center and a water feature now are located.

The amendment allows concert promoters, concessionaires and other select groups to apply for single-event alcohol permits through the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control — something that has not been allowed on the site before.
