Restaurants And Bars Can Now Buy Direct from Distilleries

If you own a bar or a restaurant today is the day you'll be able to purchase liquor directly from distilleries. A result of an initiative passed by voters to privatize liquor sales in the state. Hundreds of retailers like Costco, Fred Meyer, Albertsons and Safeway have applied to sell liquor in their stores.

The initiative dismantled the state run liquor system.
