Oregon is one step closer to joining the dozens of other U.S. states that allow restaurants to sell cocktails to-go. The Oregon legislature passed a bill Monday that would allow restaurants and bars to sell cocktails and mixed drinks for takeout or through third-party delivery, after months of campaigns and petitions by restaurant and bar workers.
Senate Bill 1801, introduced as a part of a one-day special session, allows bars and restaurants to sell takeout and delivery cocktails, mixed drinks, and single-serving glasses of wine in sealed containers to consume offsite, as long as the customer purchased those drinks with a food item. Those restaurants can’t sell more than two cocktails per “substantial food item.”
