Legislation teed up for a vote in the state House of Representatives as soon as Wednesday that would put mixed drinks to-go on the menu of taverns, restaurants and hotel bars hard hit by the business closure order that was part of Gov. Tom Wolf’s COVID-19 response.
The House on Tuesday added a provision into a liquor bill that would allow certain hotel and restaurant liquor licensees to sell up to a 64-ounce sealed container of mixed drinks per transaction for off-premise consumption. It passed by a bipartisan 193-9 vote.
