Happy Hours Could Get Happier
July 7, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Pennsylvania, you crazy when it comes to liquor laws, but you may finally be shaping up in the drankz department. Governor Tom Corbett signed legislation last week granting restaurants and bars more flexibility in scheduling their happy hours. Under the old law, drinking establishments were allowed up to two hours of happy per day for a maximum for 14 hours of happy per week. The 14-hour weekly cap still stands, but now your favorite afternoon sip spots will be allowed up to four hours of drink specials on a given day.
It'll be interesting to see how many bars actually shuffle around their happy hours when the law goes into effect in late August (Mad4: 12 hours of $7 Big Azzes on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays?). Loyal readers, help us keep tabs on any changes and alert us if you notice any!
