room.

Speaker 1

0:59

Located at 510 East John Street, Carson City, Nevada.

1:03

Natalie, I understand there is late material for this, and the late material is a report from the health department.

1:09

Is that correct?

1:10

That is correct.

1:10

Are there any other changes to the staff report?

1:13

No, there are not.

1:14

Okay.

1:14

Is the applicant present?

Speaker 3

1:16

Yes.

Speaker 1

1:16

Please state your name for the record.

Speaker 3

1:18

Chris Fredland.

Speaker 1

1:19

Have you had a chance to review the staff report and the late material?

1:23

Yes.

1:23

Do you have any questions or concerns?

1:25

Nope.

1:26

Have you run a bar before?

1:27

Nope.

1:28

Okay.

1:29

Well, let me tell you, so normally the sheriff's office would be at this meeting, but what they would tell you if they were here, is it was probably about seven years ago now that the board switched from the liquor and entertainment board issuing a liquor license to allowing a hearings officer to issue it.

1:49

At that time, the sheriff was very concerned that we might not recognize how important it is to talk to applicants for liquor licenses about not serving minors.

2:01

You cannot serve minors.

2:03

You have to card people, you're going to have to take the server training.

2:07

Any employees you have will need to take the server training.

2:10

The sheriff's office will use decoys to go in and test you.

2:17

If you fail, there will be fines and you may be called back here, and your liquor license could potentially be revoked by the board.

2:25

So just take it really, really seriously.

2:27

The sheriff takes it very seriously and doesn't tolerate it.

2:32

Okay, also on the oh, anything do you want to tell me about your your bar?

Speaker 3

2:39

Um progress is moving along quite well, I think.

2:43

Okay.

2:44

So hopefully things will move along so I can anticipate opening before Thanksgiving, like I was trying to.

Speaker 1

2:52

Can you get the door, please?

2:55

Um, Natalie's back, I'll ask a question.

3:05

Okay, on this one, Natalie.

3:08

I'm reading what the health department said, and I see their additional condition.

3:13

I was expecting to see a condition that said that he couldn't serve appliances in the pro on the site until all the walls and floors were complete.

3:24

Are all the walls and floors complete?

Speaker 3

3:26

Uh the finished floor is not complete.

Speaker 1

3:29

Okay.

Speaker 3

3:29

So currently I have all sealed doors.

3:32

Right.

3:32

All sealed windows.

Speaker 1

3:33

Right, weather tight.

Summary of Proceedings

Carson City Liquor Hearings Officer Meeting - October 28, 2026

The Carson City Consolidated Municipality Liquor Hearings Officer convened at 8:30 a.m. on October 28, 2026, in Community Development, BRIC Conference Room A, 108 E. Proctor Street, Carson City, NV. The hearing covered two liquor license applications. Because the item 4A applicant was absent, item 4B was heard first. No public comments were received. Note: The agenda and transcript identify the meeting date as October 21, 2026, while the date supplied for this summary is October 28, 2026.

Public Comments

No public comments were made during either public comment period.

Item 4B - Tavern/Bar Liquor License: Rec Room Tap Room

Christopher Fredlund, liquor manager for CR Fredlund, LLC d/b/a Rec Room Tap Room, 510 E. John Street, Carson City, NV 89706, applied for Tavern/Bar Liquor License LIQUOR-010370-2026. Fredlund was present, stated he had never run a bar before, and said progress was moving well with hopes to open before Thanksgiving.
Staff added late material: a Carson City Health Department report. The health department's condition required a final construction inspection to be completed before opening, with all open violations resolved. Neither Fredlund nor the Hearing Officer was aware of any open violations.
The Hearing Officer observed that the report did not include a previously discussed condition about avoiding contamination of appliances from construction dust. Because the finished floor was not yet complete, the Hearing Officer added a condition that no appliances may be stored inside the building until all floor work is complete. Fredlund agreed.
The Hearing Officer reviewed liquor-law expectations: no service to minors, mandatory carding, server training for the applicant and employees, sheriff's office decoy compliance checks, and possible fines or license revocation for violations.
The Hearing Officer noted that Carson City Health and Human Services approved the facility to purchase and store liquor on site.
The Hearing Officer approved the license, subject to the staff report conditions, the health department's condition, and the Hearing Officer's added appliance condition.

Item 4A - Packaged Liquor License: Eagle Gas and Food

Satish Kumar, liquor manager for Carson Petro LLC d/b/a Eagle Gas and Food, 1360 S. Carson Street, Carson City, NV 89701, applied for Packaged Liquor License LIQUOR-010786-2026. Kumar was not present.
The Hearing Officer took a five-minute break and reconvened at 8:41 a.m. to allow additional time for the applicant to arrive. The applicant did not appear, so the Hearing Officer took no action on item 4A.

Key Outcomes

Approved CR Fredlund, LLC d/b/a Rec Room Tap Room's Tavern/Bar Liquor License with conditions, including the health department's final-construction-inspection condition and the Hearing Officer's no-appliance-storage-until-floor-completion condition.
Took no action on Carson Petro LLC d/b/a Eagle Gas and Food's Packaged Liquor License application because the applicant was absent.
Adjourned after the second public comment period, with no public comment.
