  • Enhanced Customer Experience: Serving alcohol outdoors provides a unique and pleasant dining experience for customers, encouraging them to visit and support local businesses.
  • Flexibility in Operations: Restaurants can adapt their operations to meet the changing demands and regulations, allowing them to navigate through uncertainties more effectively.
  • Staying Competitive: By offering outdoor alcohol service, restaurants can differentiate themselves from competitors and attract new customers.

Process Overview

The process for obtaining approval for outdoor alcohol service with the PLCB is streamlined and efficient. Here's an overview of the steps involved:

  1. Review Guidelines: Restaurants should review the guidelines provided by the PLCB to ensure compliance with all necessary regulations and requirements.
  2. Submit Application: Submit an application to the PLCB, including details such as the outdoor space layout, seating arrangements, and safety measures.
  3. Inspection: The PLCB conducts inspections to verify compliance and ensure the safety of patrons.
