For the first time ever, you can to get to-go cocktails in Pennsylvania.

On Wednesday, May 16, the Pennsylvania state Senate unanimously approved a measure that would allow bars and restaurants to sell to-go cocktails, which is commonplace in other states but would be a huge victory in Pennsylvania thanks to this state's notoriously draconian liquor laws. On Thursday, May 21, Governor Tom Wolf signed the bill into law.

The bill states, "HB 372 would allow licensees with a restaurant (R) or hotel (H) license that have lost more than 25% of average monthly sales during the pandemic to serve sealed containers of mixed drinks in servings of 4 to 64 ounces before 11 p.m."

Any bar or licensed restaurant would be able to sell mixed drinks under this law, which would be a huge step up from the drink mixers restaurants have been selling so far. Hot spots like Barbuzzo, Bud & Marilyn's, Rosy's Taco Bar, and more have been selling freshly squeezed juices and other mixers for thirsty customers, but the customer has had to provide their own booze, which is proving pretty hard to get thanks to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board's curbside pickup and online ordering snafus.

Alas, this won't last long; the measure will be temporary, making it one of the only positive things to come out of the coronavirus pandemic that shuttered restaurants in Philadelphia, throughout Pennsylvania, and across the world in March. Per the bill, "the takeout drink sales would be permitted only during the emergency and for the period after the emergency during which a licensee is operating at less than 60% capacity."

Philly's best cocktail hotspots are ready to serve you at home, so here's where you can get your mixed drink fix throughout the city, from hole in the wall dive bars to upscale cocktail bars.

This is an ongoing list, so check back for updates.
