Yes, You Can Still Buy Liquor in Philadelphia
The PLCB is a mess, but there are other options for buying hard liquor in the Philadelphia region.

Though the PLCB is operating under pretty limited service, there are still a few ways to get wine and liquor to your home so you can make really good cocktails. Local distilleries are allowed to sell directly to the consumers, and independent wine shops have been deemed essential operations. In addition, any grocery store that regularly sells wine is still able to do so. If you know of other local distilleries or shops selling liquor or wine in the Philadelphia area, please send us an email foobooz@phillymag.com.
