Nope. You can only get wine and spirits at restaurants.Quote:

You could make that argument for any day of the week. This is a mostly Catholic state and more importantly, America. I should be able to buy beer whenever I want.Quote:

As far as Sunday sales go, sometimes you just forget to plan ahead or sometimes you don't know that you are going to want wine/beer until Sunday. It is irritating when you realize there is no good reason that you are forbidden from getting what you want and someone would be willing to provide if it were not against city ordinances.
What is the purpose of prohibiting alcohol sales on Sunday vs other days?Quote:

It must be something recent or temporary. We've eaten there on Sat. evenings before. I do know that they close fairly early but don't shut down when they say they close as long as customers are still coming in. It must have been dead for awhile, so they decided to shut down to save money. You might want to check to see if it's a temporary thing. Heck, I might want to because I like that place.Quote:
