Sunday Brunch Cocktails Now Okay In Key West

KEY WEST (CBS4) – Tourists and residents alike in Key West will now be able to enjoy a Mimosa or Bloody Mary with their Sunday brunch.

The city's commission has approved the repeal of a law which prohibited the sale of alcohol between 4 a.m. and noon on Sundays. That means bars, restaurants and retail stores can now sell liquor in the morning hours on Sundays, starting this weekend.

Previously, anyone needing alcohol before noon on a Sunday in Key West had to go to Stock Island, where Monroe County laws are different.

Alcohol sales are now prohibited only between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. daily.
