Are corkage fees legal? I know looking at the NJ Laws that if a non-license restaurant allows BYO they cannot charge a fee; however, if the Kitchen has a license, does that change this? Either way, $25 fee seems really steep for BYO.
ReplyDeleteIf a restaurant has a liquor license, they are allowed to charge a corkage fee. It's only illegal for non-licensed restaurants to charge a fee. I've done some research on it (though not extensive by any means) and it seems like most corkage fees at this level are around the $20 range although I agree, I was a bit surprised by the price. Certainly does discourage BYO rather than ordering there. You'd have to have a pretty nice bottle of wine to make it worth it.
