Margaritas To-Go During COVID-19 in Austin, Texas (LIMITED TIME WAIVER)
COVID-19 has created mass turmoil in the restaurant industry and on March 18, 2020, Governor Greg Abbott issued a waiver that said “…effective immediately, restaurants with a mixed beverage permit may sell beer, wine, or mixed drinks for delivery as long as they are accompanied by food purchased from the restaurant.”
The new waiver is a great way to offer relief to the many Texas restaurants, local residents, staff and family members that have been hit incredibly hard by this pandemic. During this time, please support your local restaurants and get margaritas to-go in order to help keep these businesses afloat!
Thank you for your support and let’s do this TOGETHER!
#KeepAustinAlive #StandWithAustin #AustinRestaurants
note: you must be 21+ with a valid ID upon pickup or delivery and make a food purchase as well
