RAMW Commends D.C. Council for Taking Critical First Step Toward a Vibrant World-Class City in Approving an Initial Partial Extension in Alcohol Service Hours
The D.C. Council took a historic first step in voting preliminary approval of a partial and modest one-hour extension in the maximum allowable alcohol service period at the city’s restaurants, bars and hotels.
The Council, in a voice vote, approved the measure as part of Council Bill 19-743, the “Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Support Act of 2012,” allowing for the service extension option on a total of 19 holiday dates in the initial annual period beginning October 1.
Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington (RAMW) President Lynne Breaux heralded today’s legislative action as “a welcome move toward enhancing the District’s reputation as a dynamic and thriving world-class city with an evolving 24-hour economy,” adding that the plan “will allow the city to better and more fully accommodate a growing population with diverse working and living schedules, and represents the first step toward an inevitable, across-the-board extension of hours.”
The legislation, if approved next month at the Council’s subsequent session to finalize the city’s annual budget, would result in the District joining eight states in allowing on-premise alcohol sales at restaurants, bars, nightclubs and hotels until 3:00 a.m. on weeknights and six states permitting sales until 4:00 a.m. on weekends.
