ON-SITE DRINKING RESTRICTIONS MAY BE LIFTED

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may soon lift on-site drinking restrictions imposed on bars and craft breweries since late June because of the coronavirus pandemic. The restrictions were put in place due to widespread non-compliance with coronavirus safety guidelines. The majority of Florida moved into the second phase of recovery efforts on June 8th, allowing movie theaters, bowling alleys, tattoo parlors and similar venues to reopen with limited capacity, while restaurants were able to serve people in bar areas. The restrictions on bars and breweries have particularly affected establishments that don’t serve food because those businesses cannot sell alcohol for onsite consumption.
