‘Pedal Pubs’ Can Start Serving Alcohol This Summer, Ontario Government Says
- The Ontario government announced that starting July 1, alcohol can be served on large quadricycles called pedal pubs in Toronto, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ottawa, and Windsor.
- This change follows a 2022 pilot program that did not allow alcohol service and requires municipalities to pass bylaws permitting pedal pub operations with local rules for safety and traffic control.
- Starting next month, pedal pubs that carry 12 or more passengers and often include music along predetermined routes must apply for alcohol-serving permits issued by the provincial liquor authority in Ontario.
- Starting this summer, Ontario will back a special initiative aimed at boosting tourism, fostering community connections, and safeguarding employment, the economy, and small enterprises throughout the province, Attorney General Doug Downey stated.
- This policy aims to encourage tourism and economic activity while ensuring community safety through municipal oversight and licensing requirements for alcohol service on pedal pubs.
