The term "Mixed Beverage" means (at least to us) sales to restaurants, private clubs, etc. These businesses, called "permittees" pay an additional tax over what retail patrons pay for spirits. This additional tax amounts to $3.75 per .75 liter bottle. In Mecklenburg County, there are approximately 700 establishments licensed by the state of North Carolina to sell distilled spirits "by the drink" on their premises.

These establishments purchase their spirits by calling, faxing, or e-mailing our central Mixed Beverage outlet. The Mecklenburg County ABC Board offers thirteen locations to serve our permittees.

Permittees are assigned one of these pick up locations based on the establishment's zip code. Permittees may request a different location by submitting their preference, in writing, to our Mixed Beverage Manager, Beverly Severt: 3333 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28206; or e-mail at bsevert@meckabc.com.

Central Mixed Beverage Operation hours are 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Monday - Thursday, and 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
