Massachusetts Restaurants Can Now Sell Alcohol with Takeout/Delivery

Early last week, it was reported that the Baker administration had introduced a proposal that would let restaurants sell beer and wine with takeout and delivery orders. Now we have learned that this has finally become reality.

According to both a source and a tweet from @statehousenews Governor Charlie Baker has signed the bill allowing dining spots to offer beer and wine with food orders, with the ruling stating (as mentioned earlier) that the alcohol has to be in unopened, original containers. Unlike some states, the ruling does indeed include delivery orders in addition to takeout, and as also indicated earlier, spirits and cocktails are not part of this.

Restaurants in Massachusetts continue to deal with restrictions where customers cannot eat or drink in dining rooms or bars, and at least a couple of communities are not allowing people to go physically into establishments at all for takeout.
