As of April 12, 2022, bars and restaurants may sell wine and/or liquor to-go or for delivery only if it is ordered along with a “substantial food item.”
Substantial food items include sandwiches, soups, salads, wings, hotdogs, or other foods of similar quality and substance. A bag of chips, bowl of nuts, or candy alone are not considered substantial food.
Bars and restaurants may only continue to sell beer, cider, and mead to-go or for delivery without the purchase of a substantial food item.
Learn more about the Drinks To-Go Law.
Report a Violation
You can report a restaurant or bar selling alcohol (other than beer, cider or mead) to-go or for delivery without the required food purchase.
Obvious efforts to avoid the law, for example an unreasonably small portion of soup, a serving of canned beans, a handful of lettuce, or charging a small extra fee for an alcoholic beverage instead of a food item not actually ordered or delivered, will be treated as a violation of the law.
Send your complaint, including photos, to the State Liquor Authority.
