The Anchorage Assembly has passed a measure that will allow restaurants with liquor licenses to serve two hours earlier, starting at 8:00 a.m. The measure also includes an amendment that allows package and liquor stores to open at 10 a.m. on Sundays. ANCHORAGE , Alaska - Some Anchorage businesses will no longer have to wait until 10 a.m. to serve alcohol.
“I think with the parameters of having to have food service, as well as alcohol, that at least you’re providing a mitigating factor to it all,” Rossi said. Hall also points to the economic impact on Anchorage, saying restaurants being able to serve alcohol earlier will ultimately be negative financially.
Assembly Chair Christopher Constant introduced the measure, allowing “Brunch Hour” alcohol sales. It passed by a 10-1 vote, with only Anna Brawley voting no.“Now our community has some $15 million every year to direct to our most pressing issues. The brunch hour is a gesture of gratitude to say: ‘Cheers to you, Anchorage.’”“Having went to the airport, I see the need for a lot tourists wanting to go ahead and partake in beverages at odd times,” Motyka said.
