The Downtown Marine City Social District allows you to enjoy alcoholic beverages from participating businesses in a walkable area. The Social District is in the heart of unique shops, restaurants and pubs, live theatres, and outdoor waterfront seating. The District and Commons Areas are located along Broadway Street and Water Street (see map for details).
 

How it Works 

A Social District is a designated area where alcoholic beverages can be purchased from participating businesses and then carried around inside its boundaries. It is not an opportunity to bring your own alcoholic beverages into the City for drinking.  Alcoholic beverages are allowed in approved containers provided by the following restaurants & bars:

Just let your server know you want to take your drink “to go.” After you purchase a beverage from a participating restaurant, you must stay in the designated common areas which include the sidewalks along Broadway Street and Water Street, the public paths along the waterfront, and designated waterfront parks. The Social District operates 7 days a week from 12:00pm - 12:00am each night. As always, local and state laws still apply to serving minors, public intoxication, and impaired driving. Stay safe and drink responsibly.

Drink it Neat
Social District cups are for a one-time use only. Specialty marked cups are not permitted in another business, even if that business is a Social District participant. You cannot bring your own alcoholic beverages into the Social District common areas. Alcoholic beverages are allowed in the common areas from 4:00pm - 12:00am. Please do your part to keep the City clean by disposing of your Social District cups, and all garbage, in a trash receptacle.
