"ALCOHOL TO GO" GUIDANCE

Alcohol To Go
Alcohol To Go
During the pandemic, Governor Cuomo signed an Executive Order that allowed for the sale of alcoholic beverages “to-go”, for off-premises consumption. This legislation allows, for a period of three years, bars and restaurants to sell alcoholic beverages "to-go" for off-premises consumption. 

Guidance
The enacted budget includes legislation to authorize restaurants and bars licensed to sell liquor or wine for on-premises consumption, to also sell these products for off-premises consumption. According to the "Guidance on Sale of Wine and Liquor To-Go by On Premises Retail Licensees" from the State Liquor Authority, it requires:
  1. Purchases of wine and/or liquor to be accompanied by a “substantial food item”
  2. Any beverage must be sold in a sealed container and sold during the county closing hours in effect where the business operates.
