City OKs alcohol ordinance change
Hotel sales can now be consumed on site
City Statesboro logo
Provided they have 50 or more rooms, Statesboro hotels with package alcohol licenses may now sell bottles or cans of beer and wine for patrons to drink in their rooms or elsewhere in the hotel. An ordinance amendment, previously given a first reading, was approved June 20 by City Council. Previously, the city’s Alcoholic Beverages Ordinance, as enacted by the council in 2016, allowed hotels to be licensed to sell beer and wine, but not for someone to drink in a room at the same hotel.
