Wolf urges Senate to keep cocktails-to-go, some Pa. bar owners lukewarm – By Paul Guggenheimer (Triblive) / June 15 2021
Gov. Tom Wolf is urging the Senate to pass a bill that would enable the cocktails-to-go law to remain in place.
The bill would amend the state’s liquor code to allow bars, restaurants and hotels with liquor licenses to sell mixed drinks for off-premises consumption.
Just over a year ago Wolf signed a temporary measure a few months into the pandemic allowing the sale of mixed drinks to go when restaurants were forced to close for in-person service.
“I support memorializing this relief for bars and restaurants by making cocktails-to-go permanent and I strongly urge the Senate to support Pennsylvania’s bars, restaurants and hotels by sending a clean bill to my desk (Tuesday),” said Wolf.
