- Pursuant to Executive Order, licensed bars and restaurants may offer take-out or delivery only and only during regular posted business hours. Alcoholic beverages to go must be in sealed original containers. Absolutely no table or bar service and no on premise alcohol consumption are permitted until further notice. Report violations to local police or ABC at 866-713-8392.
- Credit and return regulations have been relaxed pursuant to a Special Ruling which is posted to the left.
- The term of all municipal and State liquor licenses and permits has been extended to Sept. 30, 2020 by Order posted to the left.
- Governor Murphy has ordered that ALL customers visiting restaurants and bars that remain in operation for takeout orders must wear a face cover as they enter the premises to pick up their orders. Restaurants and bars must give face coverings and gloves to all their food-service personnel. ABC interprets the Governor's order to apply to customers and employees at breweries, wineries and distilleries as well. A face covering does not mean a medical-grade mask.
- Unless otherwise required by statute or regulation, all documents sent to the ABC should be submitted by email in PDF format to the appropriate ABC Bureau or staff member. Routine filing of paper documents is discouraged. In some cases, ABC attorneys or staff may request delivery of hard copies by mail or courier service. Any paper document sent to ABC by mail must also be accompanied by a PDF version on electronic media such as a thumb drive or by email. Please note that at this time OAG-L&PS will not accept submission of an OPRA request by fax or email, but general correspondence can be sent to ABCPublic@njoag.gov.
