Cobb Sunday alcohol hours extended just in time for Super Bowl

Last fall, Cobb voters extended Sunday alcohol hours by approving a “brunch bill” that would allow adult beverage service to begin at 11 a.m.Cobb brunch bill, Cobb Sunday alcohol hours

Last week, Cobb commissioners voted to amend the county code to allow restaurants and bars to serve alcohol until 2 a.m. on Mondays.

Previously, last call was at midnight Monday.

The new hours began today, and are permanent, but they also were timed for the Super Bowl, which takes place this coming Sunday in Atlanta.

The new rule applies only to establishments that derive at 50 percent of their revenues from food service or the same percentage of revenue from overnight room rentals.

Before the elections, Sunday alcohol service and retail sales could begin only after 12:30 p.m.

But the “brunch bill” was approved with more than 71 percent of the vote in unincorporated Cobb, by far the largest margin for any item on the local ballot.
