Sacramento – The Municipal Council of Sacramento plans to create entertainment spaces that allow other people to drink alcohol in open boxes that leave bars and restaurants.

“I think it would be wonderful so you don’t have to hit [your drink] and you can go out and enjoy it,” said Bonnie Nichols, who lives in Sacramento.

This is the effort of the city to pour into Sacramento’s nightlife.

“I think it is a medium of the city, which, I think, is actually vital culturally and demographically,” said Brandon Robinson, founder of Tipsy Putt in the center of the commons (Doco).

Robinson said it was a fight for corporations to recover from the pandemic, however, that the Tipsy Putt slowly saw increase the pedestrian traffic. He thinks that focusing on nightlife and creating fun, fluid and an environment where other people can help.

“We were in Arizona and we could do more things like that,” said Stephanie Gustin. “He simply joined our pleasure, but he will have to be within the limits. “

The city thinks that these entertainment spaces can obtain advantages when special occasions occur nearby, which allows them to make alcohol sales.

“I know what I don’t need. I don’t need 24 hours, a safe component of the city with New Orleans and Tuesday Gras,” said Mayor Kevin McCarty.

McCarty said Sacramento looked at cities like San Francisco that succeeded with its open container entertainment areas, adding near the persecution center.

“Honestly, I would not think it would be really wise because you would have many other people in public,” said Iyesia Osborne, who lives in Sacramento.  

Mayor McCarty told CBS13 that there would be spaces and times that the police would build personnel.  

“We are very, very attentive,” said McCarty. “We are going to ask our police branch to paint us that. “

There are still final positions that would fall into those entertainment areas, but McCarty discussed safe portions of K Street, R Street and Capitol Mall.

“You need to bring more nightlife in the center, but you must make you safe,” said Kris Errecart, who lives in Sacramento.

Drinks from the Ministry of Alcohol (ABC) are aboard this replacement in open boxes and require special rentals for corporations that participate in those areas.  

Beyond the two years, Governor Gavin Newsom has signed allowing local governments to create entertainment areas.

The Municipal Council of Sacramento will talk about that on Tuesday at its meeting.
