New rules announced Wednesday and set to take effect through the end of July will allow restaurants and bars in the city to serve to-go cocktails, beers, and cups of wine, which patrons can enjoy outdoors in designated areas without running afoul of open container laws.
The so-called “
open container districts/public consumption zones” where this will be allowed encompass blocks upon blocks of Harvard, Central, Kendall, Inman, and Porter squares, along with lower Massachusetts Avenue, according to a press release. Bars and restaurants will also be allowed to keep serving until 3 a.m.
