Theaters Turning to Alcohol to Compete for Movie Watchers
Tuesday, May 26th, 2015
Dinner and a movie is an adage that dates to the early years of feature films, but alcoholic beverages as a portion of that notion is spilling into movie houses that increasingly are serving beer, wine and liquor.
In Columbia, only two movie houses have state approval to sell beer and wine, while a third ran into a stumbling block this month. The Charleston area has a couple of theaters with permits, according to a quick check last week with the South Carolina Department of Revenue’s Alcoholic Beverage Licensing division.
