This week, the Marietta City Council approved three new alcohol ordinances that will lift restrictions on the ability of businesses to sell wine and beer by the glass, alcohol by the bottle and sell booze during city events.

The first ordinance will allow wine and malt beverage retailers to sell by the glass at their establishments outside of scheduled tastings.

With this change, dedicated wine or beer retailers (like the Marietta Wine Market) can sell beverages by the glass outside of tasting times.

 

The second ordinance, which passed 7-0, allows restaurants and bars already selling alcohol for consumption to peddle their provisions by the bottle.

 

The third ordinance will give businesses that are already allowed to sell beer and wine in the public right-of-way during city events the green light to sell liquor, too.

Over 1000 friends of the Marietta Wine Market signed this petition to allow retail pouring at the Marietta Wine Market.

Others spoke to or wrote a letter to a Marietta City Council Member on our behalf.

We want to thank City Council, Marietta City staff members and our loyal customers for making these changes happen!
