Drinking on San Francisco Streets Legal?

San Francisco might start selling alcohol to go in certain designated areas downtown. Legislation is making its way through the appropriate channels to establish what are so-called entertainment zones, basically zones where restaurants and bars can sell alcohol to go, no open container rules. The first of these zones would be on Front Street between California and Sacramento where places like Royal Exchange and Schroeder's are located. This is one of many programs established to help revitalize downtown San Francisco, including the First Thursday program, a free monthly event series running through April of 2025 where organizers shut down parts of downtown San Francisco and create outdoor entertainment spaces for events. I loved when establishments started doing this near the beginning of the pandemic, so I'm excited to see it come back to San Francisco, especially because it's so walkable. Let me know what you think in the comments.
