Kentucky Edition | Lexington Easing Rules on Alcohol Sales | Season 2 | Episode 135

Now Lexington is easing its rule on alcohol sales.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports the Urban County Council approved a new ordinance last night that allows restaurants and bars to begin serving alcohol at 6 a.m. on Sundays.

The vote was nearly unanimous, with Council member Fred Brown being the only person to vote against the measure, which took effect immediately.

Previously, bars and restaurants couldn't sell alcohol by the glass before 11 a.m..

The new rule does not apply to retail stores, where liquor still can't be sold on Sundays until one in the afternoon.
