The Evansville City Council unanimously voted to create a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) where people can carry their drinks from participating bars and restaurants.
Signs will clearly mark all areas within the open container zone, and beverages must be in specially marked cups.
The city plans to launch the DORA in April, with 22 restaurants and bars participating. The Alcohol and Tobacco Commission will also need to sign off before this goes into effect.
