 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A trendy downtown Salt Lake City seafood restaurant started business Saturday with glass-smashing and champagne, a symbolic gesture in its emancipation from Utah's so-called "Zion Curtains" alcohol law. 
  
 "It feels fabulous and liberating. It's a hallelujah moment," said Joel LaSalle, owner of Current Fish & Oyster. "It'll make our restaurant twice as beautiful because you can actually see the $100,000 bar and wall." 
  
 The new liquor law went into effect Saturday, making wine, liquor and higher-alcohol beer more expensive while also allowing some restaurants to take down walls and partitions that were meant to prevent customers from seeing their alcoholic drinks being mixed and poured. 
  
 The broad liquor law passed in March eased a longtime requirement that drinks be prepared behind barriers known as "Zion Curtains," typically glass walls or back rooms. It's based on the premise that the barriers shield children from alcohol culture and what some perceive as the glamour of bartending, and prevents underage drinking. 
  
 The Zion Curtain nickname is a reference to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which teaches its members to avoid alcohol and plays an influential role in state liquor policy. 
  
 The rule has been a longtime thorn in the side of Utah's restaurant industry, which has complained that the barriers can be ugly and awkward, and point out that children can still see customers drinking alcohol. They also argued the rule punished newer restaurants, because those built before 2009 were not required to have a barrier. 
  
 Under the new law, restaurants can stop hiding drinks behind glass barriers or in backrooms starting Saturday — if they choose one of two options to keep those under 21 away from bars: Seat them at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a bar, or at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from a bar if the restaurant installs a half-wall or other structure about 3.5 feet (1 meter) tall. 
  
 Adult customers can sit at or near bars and watch drinks being made. 
  
 Restaurants that want to pick one of those paths will first need the alcohol control department to sign off on their changes and floor plans and meet with a compliance officer from the liquor department. 
  
 Terry Wood, spokesman for Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, did not know how many restaurants had taken steps to make those changes, but it was expected to be a small number. 
  
 Most restaurants are not required to do anything differently under the law, and eateries that must make adjustments have a year to do that. 
  
 The large dining room at Current Fish & Oyster offers plenty of room for a 10-foot (3-meter) buffer zone. LaSalle said that the wall is an eyesore and costs his restaurant thousands in sales each month because customers can't sit and enjoy a drink while chatting with the bartender hidden in a glass-paneled cubicle. 
  
 The law also raised the markup that the state makes on the case price of alcohol by 2 percentage points. Starting Saturday, the price markup will be 88 percent for liquor and wine and 66.5 for beer that has more than 4 percent of alcohol by volume. 
  
 After closing time Friday, workers went through the state's 44-state-run liquor stores to post new price tags on store shelves ahead of Saturday's openings. 
  
 The rising markup will generally cause retail prices to increase about 1 percent. For example, a $19.99 bottle of wine would cost $20.20 on Saturday. 
  
 The price increases don't apply to lower-alcohol beer, which is sold in grocery and convenience stores. 
  
 Some of the law's other changes took effect in May, including rules allowing alcohol to be sold an hour earlier — at 10:30 a.m. — on weekends and holidays.

 The sound of breaking glass reverberated through Utah on Saturday as the state's so-called Zion Curtain liquor law came crashing down. 
  
 H.B. 442, a sweeping piece of alcohol reform legislation the Utah State Legislature passed in March, means some restaurants can take down the partitions meant to block the view of alcoholic drinks being mixed and poured. 
  
 The goal of the original rule was to shield kids from the supposed glamour of bar-tending and subsequent risks of underage drinking, reports The Associated Press. 
  
 "It feels fabulous and liberating. It's a hallelujah moment," Joel LaSalle, owner of Current Fish & Oyster told the AP as his glass wall smashed into smithereens.

 "Over the last two years, it probably cost us $350,000 in sales," LaSalle told Nicole Nixon from member station KUER in Salt Lake City. LaSalle said people didn't want to sit at the bar and face a frosted glass wall instead of a bartender. 
  
 Opponents of the old law said it punished new restaurants, since those built before 2009 were not required to have the barrier and even with one kids could see alcoholic drinks being consumed anyway, reports AP. 
  
 But Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Spokesman Terry Wood told The Salt Lake Tribune that restaurants must first be inspected and approved before the barriers can come down. If restaurants take down this wall without approval they could be hit with fines or loss of a liquor license. 
  
 "Liquor laws in Utah are notoriously burdensome for restaurants," reports Nixon. 
  
 The state is majority Mormon and "(a)ctive members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages," says Brigham Young University. 
  
 Zion is understood by Latter-day Saints to mean "a group of God's followers or a place where such a group lives." 
  
 And unlike the actual Iron Curtain that once separated the former Soviet bloc from the West, there is no free flow of people following the fall of the Zion Curtain. 
  
 The rules state that in restaurants without the partition, minors must be kept at least ten feet from anywhere alcohol is poured. 
  
 As of midday Friday, around two dozen restaurants had been inspected and approved, Wood told The Tribune and in the coming weeks the department will be working through around three dozen additional applications. 
  
 The new rules are also making it pricier to buy alcohol in the state, increasing the liquor markup by 2 percent. ||||| New law » Restaurants now have alternatives under new provision. 
  
 More than two dozen restaurants across the state rushed to tear down their much-maligned "Zion Curtain" barriers Saturday, the same day a new law took effect that loosened Utah's controversial liquor-dispensing requirement. 
  
 As of midday Friday, 26 restaurants had been inspected and approved by the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to be barrier-free, said spokesman Terry Wood. 
  
 Stoneground Kitchen, Current Fish and Oyster, and Rye Diner and Drinks, all in Salt Lake City, as well as Bandits Grill and Bar in Cottonwood Heights, were among the first to tear down the barriers, Wood said. 
  
 Current had its glass Zion Curtain down — and shattered — by midmorning. Immediately afterward, owner Joel LaSalle and general manager Andrew Cliburn celebrated with a toast of champagne. |||||

Mister bartender, tear down this wall. NPR reports Utah's "Zion Curtain" law is officially history as new alcohol reform legislation passed in March took effect Saturday. The old Zion Curtain law forced restaurants to erect partitions to block customers from seeing their drinks being poured or mixed and to protect children from seeing how cool bartending is. In heavily Mormon Utah, even restaurants that only served beer had to put up barriers, according to Smithsonian. Restaurants complained that such barriers were unsightly and didn't even prevent children from seeing alcohol being consumed, the AP reports. Restaurant owner Joel LaSalle tells NPR the law "probably cost us $350,000 in sales" over the past two years because "people didn't want to ... face a frosted glass wall instead of a bartender." LaSalle's was one of the first restaurants to have their partition removed, smashing the frosted glass and celebrating what he calls a "hallelujah moment" with champagne. The Salt Lake Tribune reports dozens more restaurants are in the process of having their barriers removed—pending approval by the state. Restaurants now have a choice: stick with the Zion Curtain partition, keep minors 10 feet away from where liquor is poured, or erect a partial wall or railing separating the dining area and bar area. But it's not all good news for Utah's drinkers. The new law also increases the markup on liquor, wine, and some beers by about 2%. (Two Utah towns make this list of America's 10 least boozy cities.)
