WINNIPEG – Movie-goers in Winnipeg will soon be able to drink a beer with their popcorn.
The Manitoba Liquor Control Commission has amended a regulation to allow alcohol in a movie theatre under a special spectator activities licence.
MLCC president Roman Zubach says a major entertainment organization wants to open a new multiplex in Winnipeg that would include alcohol and food services.
The licence would be issued provided the complex contains at least two theatres with a minimum of 75 permanent seats, and the liquor service would be restricted to the theatre.
Patrons would not be able to take it out into the unlicensed portion of the building.
Gord Mackintosh, the minister responsible for MLCC, says the regulation change is in keeping with the province’s new hospitality strategy rolled out last May.
