A series 12 license allows the holder to sell and serve spirituous liquor solely for consumption on the premises of an establishment which derives at least forty percent (40%) of its gross revenue from the sale of food. Dara Thai is an existing restaurant in Flagstaff that is under new management; if approved, it will be the 92nd active series 12 license in Flagstaff.

The property has been posted as required, and the Police and Community Development divisions have reviewed the application with no concerns noted.
