Grabbing a bite to take home and eat during the Stay at Home Order? Now you can wash it down with your favorite beer, too.
 
On Friday, March 21, Village President Troy Parlier signed a second executive order to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in Oswego. The order reinforces the State of Illinois’ Stay at Home Order, closes Village of Oswego facilities to the public, and suspends licenses for door-to-door solicitors.
 
It also allows restaurants and bars that typically sell alcohol for on-premises consumption to offer packaged sales of alcohol along with their curbside or takeout service.
 
That means when you’re picking up your favorite burger to go during the Stay at Home Order, you can also buy a bottle of cabernet or a six-pack of your favorite IPA to go.
 
A few rules:

• No alcohol delivery is permitted.
• No drive-thru alcohol sales. (You’ll have to get out of the car to show ID.)
• You don’t have to buy food to also buy packaged alcohol. (But it’s a great way to show our bars and restaurants your support.)
• As always, you must be 21 and show ID to buy alcohol. (All other laws relating to the purchase, sale, and consumption of alcohol are also still in effect.)
