We definitely want to keep it going as long as possible,” said Lynn Richardson.It's an idea that has helped many local businesses across the Central Coast during the pandemic."Our beverage director Trevor Tyler has done an amazing job keeping our quality for our batch cocktails and it's just been super positive during a tough situation for sure,” Moyer said.The governor also signed bills Friday that extend outdoor dining permits and alcohol sales for a year after the state of emergency ends.
