While bars in New Orleans remain closed because of coronavirus restrictions, the city will now allow restaurants to serve alcoholic drinks to-go
The announcement came Friday from New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, who ordered that the drinks could be served through take-out, curbside and drive-thru until 11 p.m. Though the rest of Louisiana has eased into Phase 3 reopening, Cantrell has kept Orleans Parish in Phase 2, though with some looser restrictions. Bars can reopen under Phase 3, but they remain closed under Phase 2. New Orleans restaurants are already allowed to serve alcohol to people dining at the restaurants.
The move follows previous loosened restrictions by the mayor, including the reopening of playgrounds and the resumption of high school athletics in October.
