Council approves “Cocktails to go” ordinance
Council approves “Cocktails to go” ordinance
Fernley restaurants with liquor licenses can now offer “cocktails to go” under a new ordinance approved by the City Council on Oct. 1. The measure allows 22 local restaurants to provide sealed alcoholic beverages for takeout or home delivery without obtaining a new license. City Clerk Kim Swanson said the change, made possible by Assembly Bill 375, could create a new revenue stream for local establishments. Drinks must be sealed with a tamper-evident cap, and open containers in vehicles remain illegal. Delivery drivers must be licensed, verify recipients are at least 21, and log all deliveries for four years. A 50-cent surcharge per drink will support the state’s Ignition Interlock & DUI Reduction Program. 10/09/2025 08:26 PM
