ABC Board approves operational changes for liquor license holders

The Alabama ABC Board voted to restrict alcohol sales at 11 p.m. for restaurants, bars and country clubs.

Out of concern for the health and safety of the general public and licensees, the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board today approved an emergency order that limits the hours of operations for restaurants, bar and entities that sell alcohol. Effective immediately but not enforced until Saturday, all ABC licensees are required to cease the service and/or sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. with on-premise consumption to end at 11:40 p.m.

Daily COVID-19 cases in the state continue to climb, with almost 3,000 new cases reported this weekend.
