In Tampa, the days of checking the clock when you’re ready to have a drink on Sunday morning may be on the way out.
As it stands, Tampeños not at Tampa International Airport currently have to wait until 11 a.m. on Sundays to buy alcohol at a store or restaurant, but Tampa City Council voted 5-1 to allow alcohol sales starting at 7 a.m., seven days a week.
A final decision could come on Dec. 3, and a spokesperson for Tampa Mayor Jane Castor told the Tampa Bay Times that “The mayor will sign it if approved and it will go into effect immediately.”
The move is intended to accommodate SuperBowl events in January and February, but the uniform hours would be permanent.
