Sip to support your neighborhood gathering place! Despite all restaurants and bars following the COVID-19 mandated shut-down, licensed dining spots may now offer cocktails to-go with the blessing of Governor DeWine and Ohio State Liquor Control.
There are, of course, some rules — restaurants can’t serve outside of their normal hours, all alcoholic beverages that are not in their originally unsealed packaging must be sold with a cover, and you can’t guzzle without buying some grub. While we are only highlighting cocktails here, most businesses are also offering beer and wine for carryout as well.
So go ahead and order up, because we could all use a little socially distant cheer.
