NEW YORK (WKBW) — As the Buffalo Bills prepare to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London early Sunday morning, Governor Kathy Hochul has taken action to support bars and restaurants in New York. She has directed the State Liquor Authority to extend the deadline for establishments to apply for a special Sunday liquor permit.
The original deadline was Friday of this week, but with the early start time of the game, Governor Hochul has waived the 15-day advance notice normally required. This permit would allow bars and restaurants to serve alcohol between the hours of 8 and 10 a.m., two hours earlier than usual.
According to Governor Hochul, this extension allows Bills fans everywhere to “circle the wagons” and cheer on their team together. Whether they are in the mood for a pint or just the Bills spirit, fans now have more options to gather and support the team.
“From London to Buffalo, we are all Bills fans on Sunday. With the early start time, we want to make sure that all our fans have the chance to come together and support our team. That’s why we are extending the deadline for bars and restaurants to apply for a Sunday liquor permit, so we can all come together and cheer on the Bills to victory!”
If you are a bar or restaurant owner, you can find more information on how to apply for the special Sunday liquor permit here.
