Thanks to an emergency relief bill, D.C. bars and restaurants now have an unprecedented green light to serve wine, beer, and spirits with takeout and delivery orders while the city works to halt the spread of the new coronavirus.

With individual glasses of French wine at Shaw’s Convivial to Negronis at Stellina Pizzeria and 32-ounce “Quarantine Quarts” at Brightwood Park watering hole Jackie Lee’s, everyone’s apartment can double as a personal bar scene. All takeout orders must include at least one prepared food item. Businesses that are already licensed by ABRA can quickly register for takeout and delivery approval here.

Here’s a look at several sources for hard drinks to-go.
